Theresa Caputo remembers how she secured her reality television show, Long Island Medium, that appears on the TLC network.
The father of a friend of hers, Courtney Mullin, died more than 10 years ago. Caputo helped Mullin reconnect with her dad’s soul. Mullin works in the television industry, and asked Caputo if she would like to have her own television show.
“She felt that everyone should have the opportunity to experience what I do for a living,” said Caputo. “I thought she was crazy, wanting to do a television show, and I thought ‘We’ll shoot a couple of TV shows, and I’ll just go back to my life.’ I never thought in a million years it would be where it is today.”
Caputo, who says she was born with the gift to communicate with souls in Heaven, will bring her tour, Theresa Caputo Live! The Experience, to Affinity Place on June 12, starting at 7:30 p.m.
“It’s kind of like watching Long Island Medium live,” said Caputo. “This is a two-hour experience. I give a little, quick speech on how the spirit communicates in a large venue, and explain to everyone that no matter where they’re sitting, it really doesn’t matter.”
Caputo spends little time on the stage to open the show.
“Once I start channelling, I’m down in the crowd, and the spirit guides me throughout the arena,” said Caputo. “I just stop and talk and deliver a message from the spirit.”
People who attend often walk in with an intention of hearing from their loved ones, and when they do, they find it to be unbelievable.
“I’m just walking around, and I stop … to talk to someone,” said Caputo.
But the live show differs from the television program because the audience is witnessing the experiences first-hand, rather than on television.
Spectators who attend her live show at Affinity Place might not get a reading, but they will see others receive messages that Caputo views as life-changing experiences.
“People say it all the time: ‘I didn’t know what to expect when I walked into that arena, but I left feeling my life was changed, in a positive way,’” said Caputo.
Video cameras will follow her as she walks around Affinity Place, and screens set up in the arena will allow spectators to feel like they’re part of the experience.
Prior to the debut of Long Island Medium on TLC, she would appear at venues in the eastern U.S., such as a small theatre, and she might have 500 people in attendance, but it paled in comparison with the crowds she has now. The Long Island Medium series allowed her to start having live events in arenas.
“I never thought it would be where I would be touring around the country and in Canada on a tour bus, and channelling in front of 5,000 people,” said Caputo.
Caputo says she has always sensed and felt things that other people didn’t. At one time, she thought her experiences were normal, but she would say things that other people couldn’t understand.
It wasn’t until she was in her 20s that she believed she had a gift.
“I feel that everyone has the ability to connect with their own loved ones,” said Caputo. “I just feel that I have the ability to communicate with all the souls that are supported.”
Estevan is part of a tour that will take her to 18 cities in 20 days. It kicked off June 1 in Saskatoon. She will also be in Regina on June 11.
More than 2,000 tickets have already been sold for her appearance in Estevan, and a limited number of tickets are still available.
