About Us

Walt Klappert (CEO) - Walt is a pioneer in New Media.

Theatrically, Walt has acted in productions across the country including “Company of Wayward Saints,” “Sugar Plum” and The Apple Tree.” He has designed both lighting and sound for various productions and co-authored (with William Warfel) the definitive book on color and stage lighting “Color Science for Lighting the Stage” (Yale Press). Most recently, Walt produced “The Hobbit” in Los Angeles.

It was this challenge of reaching audience that gave birth to PlaysOnDVD. Believing a great production needn’t be limited to the 5-mile physical radius audience, Walt professionally records the plays and distributes them to the larger, geographically unencumbered audience.

Walt is armed with a Masters of Fine Arts from Yale School of Drama and a Masters of Engineering from Texas A&M. He is on the Board of the Yale Cabaret Hollywood Theater Company.

Yolanda Klappert (Editor, Web Artist, Packaging Designer) - Yolanda is a digital artist, having shown and sold her extraordinary works at shows from coast to coast. Beginning her career as a classical pianist, Yolanda has recorded more than 17 albums and performed at such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall and Tanglewood. With her expert blend of electronic media and art, she became the only artist to have recorded a CD with Midi data (“Rhapsody in Blue”, Time Warner Records).

Yolanda has a Doctorate from the University of Southern California, a Masters from Yale University and an undergraduate degree from the Cincinnati Conservatory.
