PBP is a software and content-oriented Company primarily involved in Book and Music Publishing, Music CD's, iPAd and iPhone Musicals along with dolls, toys and video-games for the entire family. Additionally, it has introduced the first entertainment seminar, "Dr. Magic Saves the World," with its corresponding dolls, toys, video games and other products presented, promoted and sold directly on the Internet as well as distributed to stores throughout the world. Its mission: to use a new Paradigm to educate, entertain, inform and elevate the consciousness of the world through value-based-multi-media-entertainment that is noble and fun; and, to prove that you can make more income doing good than bad. PBP was created to re-awaken the dreams in our hearts and to motivate everyone to manifest that "One Unifying Vision of Paradise-On-Earth;” and, that way, re-ignite the passion, balance and freedom we were created to enjoy. It is to make the world a safe and noble place for children. Our mission: to inspire humanity to fulfill its destiny and to 'consistently' achieve its highest level of excellence. It is to educate, inspire and entertain while revealing truth and awareness of what is really taking place in this world of ours. At the same time, it is to encourage respect for the diversity and beliefs of each individual. For, it is only through truth, mutual respect, diversity and nobility that we can, 'collectively,' create that 'Paradise on Earth' that we were born to manifest. PBP's stellar group includes: Nobel Prize-Academy-Tony-Grammy-Emmy Award winners along with Olympic Gold Medalists and renowned people in Health-Law-Science-Medicine-Sports-Architecture and other fields, dedicated to excellence, nobility and a higher purpose. (See:PBP's: People) NOTE: Each project below will be preceded by a book and, possibly, a CD of the score. Five books/CD's have already been published and eight more will be released within the next twelve months on the internet, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, eBooks, along with other outlets. Each book will be followed by a one to three person Symphonic-Docu-Musical Production produced with major symphony orchestras and a major star from countries throughout the world, in order to build the value and reputation for each project along with promoting the sale of its books, CD's, toys, dolls, educational, interactive video-games and other products. This will be followed by multiple and simultaneous releases in new spaces other than expensive theaters at 'low' production and ticket prices. These new spaces include: colleges and school auditoriums, churches, movie theaters, warehouses, conventions halls, hotels and so on, with affordable tickets and minimum production costs. Then, they will be distributed and released as actual internet productions while distributed and performed in the thousands of professional and stock-amateur venues, simultaneously, throughout the world in which Allan Jay Friedman's other musical have been released over the past forty years. Additionally, they will be performed and distributed to the brand new, untapped 'world market' that could not formerly afford the cost of production or ticket prices. This market is ten times larger than that of the USA. Along with the theatrical and internet releases, all of its products, books and CD's will also be released in these markets as well. Four new productions are currently in production: "JFK" (Restoring the Dream); "Legacy"(The Jackson Five Story); "The Working Girl's Guide to Finding a Mate;" and, "The Greatest Story Never Told." These symphonic productions, in turn, will promote and add great value to the Motion Pictures/Video Games/TV and Internet Specials, Entertainment-Seminars and thousands of Stock-Amateur Productions throughout the world that will be produced annually that will follow, where books, CD's , dolls, toys and other merchandise will be sold. Each Book/CD is a separate Brand unto itself, which will be promoted not only through the press and on the internet but in major museums, on television and every other source available. All of this is ‘ news-worthy' as well as “ PR-worthy ” and will ‘ elevate' the image of any person or organization that should be involved in sponsorship. PBP has some of the best PR people in the business doing PR as well as one of the finest toy-makers in the world in charge of the Toy Division, which includes toys, dolls and video-games. Additionally, there will be first-of-its-kind-entertainment-seminars-on-the-internet with Nobel Prize Winners from ever field of endeavor, Major Celebrities, Olympic and Professional Athletes and major members of the business community where all PBP products will be presented and sold. Everyone will have the opportunity to ask questions of the greatest authorities in the world from every field of endeavor. These books, CD's, dolls and "educational and elevating video-games" and entertainment-seminars are perfect for all kinds of organizations and sponsors to purchase 'en masse' for the over 3M homeless children in America and the 150M homeless children, orphanages and needy children throughout the world. There will be five inter-active live productions and entertainment-seminars produced, simultaneously, each year in thousands of venues around the world, using major stars from each specific area, with live symphony orchestras or one DVD and one CD with the visuals and the symphonic score pre-recorded. Additionally, PBP plans on doing productions of many of the major movies and TV productions along with productions of the Biography, History and Discovery Channels as well as Biblical productions of all kinds to re-vitalize and illuminate a rapidly diminishing awareness market in an entertaining and enlightening manner. Toys and dolls, created by one of the leading toy and dolls makers in the world, will be produced, simultaneously, with each Book/CD and theatrical and internet production. Many musicals have already been produced in the stock-amateur market including the only authorized versions of "Winnie the Pooh" and "The Hobbit." These productions have been getting anywhere from five-hundred to one-thousand productions a year for over thirty-years. Several productions and entertainment-seminars are opening this year. PBP uses all forms of multi-media entertainment and a new Art Form along with a new way of living called, City Vision. City Vision is an entertainment-driven real estate and development company that combines optimum spiritual-emotional-mental-physical and environmental health. It will be designed by a leading architect. (Google: picturebookproductions.com: Projects: "An American In Paradise.") In conclusion, PBP is a first-of-its-kind-value-based-multi-media-entertainment-internet-company that explores known and unknown worlds in order to revitalize our dreams, passions and hopes so that we can more fully enjoy the wondrous thrill of living the way God intended: On Purpose and with Heart. (Note: An estimated ten-million dollars has been invested and over forty-years of work have been dedicated to the creation of the projects contained within the PBP website. Each completed and work-shopped and test-marketed project has an estimated and perceived value of over 3-5M dollars, according to industry standards.)   We must find a lofty dream That's in accord With the dream of everyone. Make it clear and bright So we don't lose sight Of its energizing sun. Then, each one of us, Doing what we love Must strive to do our best, Knowing what we love Is for the good of the rest. As we improve, Our world improves, We're a necessary part. Without us doing what we love, Our world will fall apart. And the higher we climb, The closer we'll be To the Universal Goal: Perfection of each one of us. Perfection of the whole!   PBP has created a Symphonic and Inter-Active New Art Form to accomplish its mission through value-based entertainment. This Magical Art Form allows hundreds or thousands of 3D Interactive One Person Theatrical Docu-Musical Productions to be performed, simultaneously, for minimal costs and ticket prices. This New Art Form will enable poor countries, that can't afford this kind of exciting and enlightening entertainment, to enjoy the best of what this country has to offer. (Click on: New Art Form.) Note: Each of these projects are a Brand unto themselves. PBP's goal: to prove you can make more money by giving rather than taking and by doing that which is positive, noble and true instead of negative, greedy and untrue. Our goal is to fully inform, inspire and create a world of truth, nobility and loving, heart-driven-human-beings instead of the current world of lies, ego, greed, fear and mind-driven human-havings and human-doings in search of a human-being. Note: One to three person Symphonic-Docu-Musical Productions will be produced as a season of five productions in multiple venues around the world, all at one time, using major stars from each specific area of the world.

Here, women will discover the best and fastest way to spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, creative and financial freedom, enlightenment and empowerment. This movement brings men and women back together as co-independent 'equals and partners.' It is a ‘movement' that recognizes the ‘masculine' side of women and the ‘feminine' side of men without either losing their femininity or masculinity. Instead, it encourages ‘whole-ness' instead of ‘half-ness,' where two ‘whole' human beings are much more powerful together than two-‘halves.' It encourages a “heart-driven society” instead of a “mind-driven society,” where the heart harnesses the mind rather than vice-versa.   Other seminars to be announced soon. "Six Colored Hats" -Lateral Thinking - Dr. Edward de Bono presents a whole new way of thinking in an entertaining and enlightening way. Click on: Seminars
