Stage 369 Founder Everett Stephenson Submits 'The Manifest Show' for Children's & Family Emmy® Award Consideration

DALLAS, TX - August 20, 2026 - Everett Stephenson, founder of Stage 369 and creator, writer, director and executive producer of The Manifest Show, has officially submitted the animated preschool series for consideration in the upcoming Children's & Family Emmy® Awards.

Produced under Stage 369 Kids, The Manifest Show is an original animated preschool series that combines entertainment, storytelling, music and positive messaging designed to inspire confidence, creativity, imagination, kindness and self-belief in young viewers.

The Emmy® submission represents another milestone in Stephenson's broader vision for Stage 369: building an entertainment company centered on the creation, ownership and expansion of original intellectual property across television, animation, film, music, licensing, merchandising and other global entertainment opportunities.

"Submitting The Manifest Show for Children's & Family Emmy® consideration is an important moment for the brand and for everything we are building at Stage 369," said Everett Stephenson. "Our vision goes beyond creating a single show. We are developing original intellectual property, characters, stories and entertainment experiences that can grow across multiple platforms and reach families around the world."

The Manifest Show introduces audiences to a growing universe of original characters, including Chloe, Bobo the Ball and Mr. E, through animated adventures and music that encourage children to believe in themselves, use their imagination and take positive action.

Through Stage 369 Kids, Stephenson is developing a growing children's entertainment division designed to create recognizable characters, original programming and family-focused intellectual property with long-term franchise potential.

The Emmy® submission further expands the visibility of The Manifest Show as Stage 369 continues developing new programming, music, licensing opportunities and additional entertainment properties.

Stephenson's long-term strategy for Stage 369 is focused on building a diversified entertainment company capable of developing, producing, owning and expanding original brands across multiple areas of the entertainment industry.
