In an era when everything from TV commercials to roadside billboards are asking parents 'to be parents', the need for a program like MAPLE AVE, that reaches out to at-risk teens and their families, is sadly all too obvious. Capturing viewers' imaginations with its unique focus on the inner life of teens and their families, MAPLE AVE addresses this growing problem head on by providing audiences with instantly recognizable characters and situations that are clearly as entertaining as they are thoughtful and educational. Regularly informed by the teens it's designed to reach, MAPLE AVE credibly shares its audience's concerns while simultaneously providing an entertaining and non-threatening forum for parents and their children to discuss issues of critical importance to them in their everyday lives. Since 2003, the Emmy & Voice Award Nominated, Telly, Omni, Aegis, Accolade, Communicator and Remi Award-Winning series has reached millions of North American viewers via Public Television, The Independent Film Channel and the classroom every year, regularly 'telling stories' and 'changing lives'.
