Bravo touts authors, bathroom opera singers

Specialty channel Bravo has pulled back the (shower) curtains on two new shows for fall. Literature Alive is a 13-part doc series profiling Canadian-Caribbean writers and shows the Caribbean fiction thread that runs from the 1960s through to hip-hop. The show preems Oct. 6 and will air Thursdays at 8 p.m.

On a lighter note, Bathroom Divas: So You Wanna Be...An Opera Star! gives amateur sings from across the spectrum and the country the chance to become the 'bathroom diva.' In this six-part series, six candidates are chosen for intensive training with one winning an opportunity to perform live on-stage. Let the warbling begin Saturday, Jan. 7, time TBA.
