If you are looking for information on the The Story Ship franchise business opportunity, The Story Ship franchises or The Story Ship franchising , then you have come to the right place.
The Story Ship is a Franchise program that gives people interested in theater the opportunity to own and operate their own children's theatrical production company. Offering innovative educational scripted performances and workshops, The Story Ship programs are technology driven and truly unique in the industry.
Featuring interactive animation, comedy theater, magic, and music, the Story Ship's performances have been developed over 10 years and presented all over the Eastern United States in thousands of performances. The sets include a giant video projection system that brings the animation to life. The Story Ship Actor and the audience interact with the animation as the stories unfold. With a wonderful array of magic tricks and comedy skits, the audience is drawn away from the animation into live action interactive theater. There are two versions of each show one (50 minutes) for presenters that need a larger and longer show and one (30 minutes) for other venues such as festivals or birthdays looking for a more concise easy to setup and breakdown performance. Since all of the shows require only one actor, it is much easier to be profitable when the rest of the cast is animated.
The Story Ship's audio workshops were created for kids eight and above to introduce the recording arts and further develop their writing and reading skills. When combining today's digital audio technology with the uninhibited creative drive of children, extraordinary things happen. And parents and teachers want to share them with every one they know! So these workshops become great fund-raisers and moneymakers. These workshops are perfect for After School Programs. Kids work with a Story Ship Artist to create an Audio CD of their own stories, sound effects and music. The final product is a digitally mastered Audio CD created by the children. This is a great way for kids to learn and practice writing, reading and acting skills while discovering facts about the science of sound!
There are plenty of kids waiting... As a Story Ship franchisee, you have several things going for you. One is the fact that schools, churches, daycare centers, and other entities need creative ways to instruct, entertain, and challenge children. Another is the willingness of parents to spend virtually unlimited amounts of money when the well being of their kids is involved. Yet another is the growing population of youngsters and the increasing affluence of their families. Over 4 million children are born each year in the United States.
