Letters to Daddy is a revolutionary character building program for kids involving music, theatre and engaging learning experiences. The musical reveals life lessons and provides a forum for children to discover healthy life choices in response to universal and sometimes uncommon social issues. But it’s more than just one program. It’s a powerful brand that has already expanded into a variety of products that include: a book; a title song; a 12-song music CD; a website; a full stage musical production, a 60-minute program for school assemblies; workbook extension activities for educators; a theatre workshop/summer camp for kids; an international communication forum; interactive video games and other branded products and merchandise. The brand offers great intellectual property value because of its intrinsic value and becomes synonymous with character building and community enhancement programs that are attractive to sponsors, licensees and distributors. The brand is sustainable over generations because even though the world constantly changes, the same core issues remain since the beginning of time. And children will always benefit from education, an outlet for artistic expression and a forum for healthy resolution of conflicts.
