WHAT IS PICTURE BOOK PRODUCTIONS?

Picture Book Productions brings books alive by simply reading them out loud. PBP takes the visual ingredients of a motion picture and transforms it into a revolutionary three-dimensional image never before seen on stage. It adds the orchestral soundtrack of a Broadway musical plus one to four live musicians; one actor or star playing the role of both the author of the book and the appropriate role in the story.

The story teller tells the story with as many other actor-singers as necessary to reflect the characters in the story.

As the story teller tells the story, the star (story teller) and other actors interact with one another and the moving 3-D images of the story that are visually unfolding on the large movie screen behind them in a theatrical-concert version.

Together, they present a revolutionary, new style musical/ concert with all the production values of a Broadway Musical at minimal costs.

These productions, where the 3-D visuals or movie clips are on one DVD and the orchestral track is on one CD, will then be cloned and produced as a season of Pre-Broadway Musical/Concerts in one hundred cities or more with a major Producer in each city.

Later, they will be cloned in 1000's of cities throughout the world, using the people in each city to produce and act in them.

Since all that is needed is a large screen, PBP can be produced in brand new venues and places throughout the world that could never before produce nor afford to produce First Class Musicals, using their own talent and a star, if desired.

This innovative approach to musicals will be presented from the author-composer and lyricist's point-of-view. They will be the first shows produced that we know of that reflect the true intention of the creator (story teller), without compromise.

In reality, this is Interactive Theater, which we call, Picture Show Theater.

Picture Show Theater begins with a Picture Book that is a condensation of the Major Book upon which the Musical is based. In the back of the Picture Books are the CD's of the Musical.

Picture Show Theater presents new style musical/concerts based on movies, television shows, books, tv and book biographies, original, classic stories and fairytales.

A Broadway (or other venue) Musical, Motion Picture and TV Special or Series will follow. Each new musical/book/CD is a Brand unto itself with its own book/music publishing, toys, dolls, clothes, video/internet games, and other merchandize to follow.

All the images in the Picture Book become three-dimensional images on the screen that are on one DVD. The orchestral track is on one CD. The orchestra can be changed into any key to fit any performer. Each musical will require only a One Time Cost for producing the DVD and CD and a few live musicians, if desired.

With one 3-D Visual DVD and one Music CD, PST can be cloned in thousands of tapped and untapped markets around the world at one time using a star, if desired and the actor-singers from each venue. If desired,  this can include a small band playing along with the pre-recorded orchestra, giving it the feeling of a full live orchestra with a Broadway sound, without the major cost.
