The goal of the Olde World Puppet Theatre Studios in the new digital age is to release its
stories into people's homes for the whole family to share. Printed and electronic books,
DVDs and electronic downloads all fulfill this goal.
We have now released Witch Key, utilizing one of our shorter marionette fantasies to launch
our new children’s adventure DVD series. It is now available on DVD, and will soon be
available as a download as well. To view portions of Witch Key, click on the link below.
The DVDs are specifically aimed at children from five to eight years old.
but each will include features to make them fun for the entire family to enjoy together,
including a how-it-was-made segment. These will enrich the fun and learning experience of
the story and increase a viewer’s interaction with the story.
Another of our stories, The Enchanted Ring, has been released as a fully-illustrated book, now
available in both print and downloadable versions. For more details on the DVD or book, go here.
Each episode, while complete in itself, will show more of the
characters and locations in the land of Belvuria, and how they interact.
Our www.belvuria.com website is designed to attract fans of
the series by featuring behind-the-scenes views of upcoming
productions as well as offering DVDs and downloads for sale.
Currently there is a trend back to fantasy in both film and TV.
However, we have found that there is a strong need for new
material in the five to eight-year-old age bracket,
with overall family appeal. Both of these are answered in our Tales
of Belvuria series.
Two of the awards this series has achieved in its 25 years of live performances
are Best New Children’s Play from the California Board of Education,
and a special award from the National Library Association
for encouraging children to read.
Two of our shows are also approved by the Egyptian Department of
Antiquities for presentation to Egyptian school children.
