Fred Rogers Production Company Seeks International Children To Appear In New Program

Producers of a new program from the Mr. Rogers production company are looking for international children between the ages of 4 and 6 to appear in a new show.

Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood is a new animated series for children ages 2-4 beginning on PBS KIDS this coming Labor Day, September 3, 2012 at 11:00am EST.

The first television series produced by The Fred Rogers Company since the iconic Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood also features an engaging and activity-rich website full of fun interactive games for kids, information-rich resources for parents and teachers and other valuable and engaging cross-platform content.

Each episode of the new series features two 11-minute stories based on the same theme, starring 4-year-old Daniel Tiger and his best friends, who invite young viewers to come along on delightful musical adventures as they explore the vibrant Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

Based in Pittsburgh, Fred Rogers Co. will be filming short, live-action videos to enhance the animated segments. For parents interested in having their children participate, here are some specifics:
- Children between the ages of 4 and 6 (Please, no children older or younger)
- Children who are friendly and outgoing
- Children who speak English
- Children who can follow directions
- Children who you feel would be comfortable in front of the camera.
