TAKE A LOOK AT THE GREAT ACTORS WHO HAVE WORKED WITH US

This organization was established on April 18, 2005 after an engaging conversation between its founding members. During the conversation, they agreed to create more lucrative and plausible ways for non-traditional performers to enter and sustain the entertainment industry.
They produced their first project, Old Man Pete, by securing the rights to the published one-act play from Henrietta Edmonds. Ms. Edmonds is the daughter of the late Harlem Renaissance playwright, S. Randolph Edmonds. The production premiered with an ensemble of actors, musicians and singers on June 22, 2005 at the Producer's Club Theatre in Midtown Manhattan, NYC.In the years to come, they plan to collaborate with others in order to complete their mission. This stage production is the primary platform from which a list of stage, film, and television productions are to follow. In addition, seminars and showcases are scheduled to further complete this arduous mission.
