Rogar Studios' Sheira & Loli's Dittydoodle Works Debuts on WLIW New York Public Television This September

Preschool Series With Music-Based Curriculum to Include Guests Marvin Hamlisch and Chaka Khan

NEW YORK, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- SHEIRA & LOLI'S DITTYDOODLE WORKS, an exciting new half-hour children's series for preschoolers featuring engaging characters, catchy songs, and life lessons, debuts as a weekly series with 26 episodes on WLIW21 New York Public Television Saturday, September 10 at 8 am. The series is executive produced by Cory Rosenberg of Rogar Studios, and Roy A. Hammond, VP of National Productions of WLIW New York.

Rag doll twins Sheira and Loli are the engaging and lively hosts in the unique world they share with their friends: resident visual artist Miss Molly, Doodles the wise-cracking crayon, eccentric but brilliant Professor Eeky Eeky Kronk, the good-natured troublemaker Zippy the Kwirk, and the child-like factory helpers, the Funkins (Pink-a-Dink and Bluedles). Celebrity guests for the first season include Oscar, Grammy, Tony and Emmy-winning songwriter/composer Marvin Hamlisch, who helps a discouraged Loli with her piano lessons in the fourth episode, and Grammy-winning R & B singer Chaka Khan as Mother Nature in an episode to air later this season.

Sheira & Loli's Dittydoodle Works features puppets created by experts from Jim Henson's Creature Shop, and award-winning music written and performed by the real-life inspiration for the series' main characters, twins Sheira and Leora "Loli" Brayer. The sisters are two-time winners of Billboard magazine's National Songwriter's Award, and their performances on Sheira & Loli's Ditties for Little Kiddies-Volume #1, and Dittydoodle Works Celebrates the Holidays garnered two iParenting Media Awards.

The characters' diverse personalities provide opportunities to teach positive emotional, social, and educational lessons as young viewers learn, along with the characters, about self-esteem, cooperation, relationships, fitness, and concepts about nature, the physical world, and literacy. Sheira & Loli's Dittydoodle Works will also feature taped segments with real children in the real world. The series premiere, "Sheira's Pen Pal," introduces the main cast members performing their very own theme songs for Sheira as she prepares a "video letter" for her new pen pal, Val.
