A DVD version of this production was put out by Monterey Video in 2004. While it is a long shot that they would still have rights 11 years later, I'd recommend that Lowell contact them to double check or to see if they can provide contact information for the current rights holders:
http://www.montereymedia.com/Corporate_Info/contactinfo.html As mentioned in several previous posts, the inquiry should be about the possibility of licensing streaming rights, rather than public performance rights.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
