“Raggs”, the hit public television preschool series, announced today that it will hold auditions from June 1-30 at Raggs.com for 100 kids to appear in a special talk show segment of the series. The winners will be selected based on video submissions, which parents can upload to the Raggs.com website. http://www.raggs.com/kidssearchvideo/

The goal is to find 100 really animated, talkative and clever kids who represent a diverse sampling of families in the country. They will pick up to 100 winners from across the US & bring them into their studio for a rare opportunity to experience the behind-the-scenes making of a TV series & the excitement of being involved in the production.

“Raggs”, is a musical & educational preschool series starring 5 colorful canines that play rockin’ music and live in a cool clubhouse with their pet cat, Dumpster. The series is built using an innovative mix of 6 different segments that focus on key preschool educational themes such literacy, music and arts, math, science, social studies and physical movement.

One of the most popular segments of the “Raggs” series is the “talk show style” chats with Dumpster the Cat. During this segment, Dumpster interviews kids about the overarching theme of the episode. For example, if the episode focuses on the sense of smell, Dumpster & the children discuss their favorite smells, how smelling works & what certain smells mean. The candid moments & articulate answers captured during the interviews with the children are priceless and often times hilarious.

Winners will be notified in early July & the taping is scheduled to take place in mid-August. The “Raggs” episodes with some of the winners will begin airing with the special debut of the first-ever Halloween-themed episode. Additional shows will be released in February 2010.

It is an incredible family experience and opportunity to both learn and teach different family values.
