City of Dallas, Texas May 8, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Everett Stephenson and Stage 369 Kids Premiere Episode 1 of The Manifest Show, “Action First,” Launching a New Animated Series Focused on Mindset, Creativity, and Positive Growth for Children
Dallas, Texas – Stage 369 Kids officially announces the premiere of Episode 1 of its new animated children’s series, The Manifest Show, created by entrepreneur, author, and producer Everett Stephenson. The debut episode, titled Action First, marks the beginning of a new educational entertainment franchise designed to inspire children and families through storytelling, music, and positive life principles.
Created under the Stage 369 Kids brand, The Manifest Show introduces audiences to a colorful and imaginative world known as the Manifest Grounds, where learning, creativity, courage, and belief come together. The series follows its main characters Chloe, Bobo, and Mr. E as they navigate adventures designed to teach practical lessons about action, self-belief, and creation.
Episode 1, Action First, centers around one of the foundational principles of the series: action creates momentum. Through music, animation, and engaging storytelling, the episode introduces children to the concept that taking the first step toward their goals is one of the most important parts of growth and achievement.
The episode is built around the core message: Action. Believe. Create.
This foundational message teaches children that dreams begin with movement, confidence is built through belief, and creation is possible when imagination meets effort.
Everett Stephenson, founder of Stage 369 and creator of The Manifest Show, developed the series as part of a larger mission to combine entertainment with empowerment.
“Children are developing their beliefs about themselves at an early age,” said Everett Stephenson. “I wanted to create something fun, musical, and memorable that also teaches them that they have power within themselves to dream, act, and build their future.”
The Manifest Show blends animation, music, and positive affirmations into a format designed for modern family viewing. Each episode includes original songs and educational themes that align with personal growth, creativity, kindness, imagination, and purpose.
The main characters each represent a unique aspect of the learning journey:
Chloe represents imagination, intelligence, and creative power.
Bobo represents courage, fun, and taking chances.
Mr. E represents wisdom, mentorship, and guidance.
Together, the trio helps children understand important life principles through relatable adventures and music-driven storytelling.
Stage 369 Kids was founded as a children’s entertainment brand under Stage 369, focused on creating meaningful family content that encourages positive thinking, creativity, and self-development. The company’s vision includes animated series, children’s books, music, educational curriculum, and future licensing opportunities.
Since development began, The Manifest Show has already started gaining recognition, including official selections from the Kids First! Film Festival, helping position the brand as an emerging force in children’s educational entertainment.
The series also features an original soundtrack, with songs available across major music streaming platforms, allowing families to continue engaging with the lessons beyond the episodes.
The launch of Episode 1 represents the first step in a larger rollout of episodes, music, and expanded content planned throughout the year.
Future episodes will continue introducing new themes such as dreaming big, kindness, purpose, imagination, strength, unity, and opportunity.
Everett Stephenson’s broader mission through Stage 369 is to build an ecosystem of content focused on transformation, creativity, and empowerment across multiple generations.
As an entrepreneur, author, and creative producer, Stephenson has built multiple brands and projects centered on personal growth, entertainment, and education. Through The Manifest Show, he aims to create a lasting impact in children’s media by combining positive messages with engaging storytelling.
Episode 1, Action First, is now officially available through the Stage 369 Kids YouTube channel.
Families, educators, and supporters are encouraged to watch, share, and engage with the series as Stage 369 Kids continues its mission of inspiring children to believe in themselves and take action toward their dreams.
