Neverland looking for Old Show DVDs converted from VHS
If you are an Alumni or Parent of an Alumni of Neverland Theatre and converted old shows VHS videos to DVD's, we would love to purchase one from you for our archives.
We have over 100 shows that were videotaped and have only transferred a few over.
If you converted one and would be willing to order an extra copy, let Andy Diskes know the cost and he will let you know if he has converted that one yet.
In fact it would be good for people to compare notes as to which shows that have been converted as to perhaps share them with each other.
Thank you very much for helping Neverland show the current generation of actors what Neverland did the first decade or so when many of the shows were originals.
Thank you.
