That is not a good idea. People have a right of publicity (also called right of privacy) that prohibits your use of their images for various purposes. These laws vary state by state but generally they prohibit the use of someone's likeness for commercial purposes or invasion of privacy for publicizing private facts about private individuals. You can send the clip to a show, and they will make the decision based on the clip whether they believe they are free to publicize it.
