Avalon was a children's television program. It was shot in a studio in New York City, and Shae Kirkendahl played a major character: Shaella Sunrise.

There was an earlier children's show, Charley's House on which Shae worked. That one was canceled, but a partly rewritten version initially called The Giantess of Avalon with Shae as the lead was started.HS17 The name was eventually simplified to just Avalon around December 1999.HS28

CTN, who was producing Avalon, was a very low budget operation. The program was designed to appeal to kids of a very narrow age range: between two and five or six. The show was written so it doesn't reflect current events. That means once there's a suffiently large library of episodes built up that after three or four years the same shows can be recycled and shown to a whole new audience.PUTP30

One of Shae's contacts with management connections, or possibly in management himself, was Ben.PUTP35 John and Rita were apparently managing the program.PUTP20

Sean was a manager with whom Shae was trying to clarify the future of the program in early 2002.PUTP39
