PDM Productions, Inc.
MISSION
To provide children and adults in every community with educational experiences in the performing and fine arts; from classics to original works.
WHY WE ARE HERE
PDM Productions, Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization whose goal is to go into any community in Central Virginia and create opportunities for artists, schools, businesses, faith based organizations, and families to come together to participate in every aspect of learning and creating, may be provided through engaging in the performing or fine arts. Partnerships, scholarships, and financial assistance will play an important role in the success of helping to bring this to fruitation.
WORKSHOPS
The workshop experiences, depending on an individual’s strengths and weaknesses, will help in developing life skills on a variety of levels, because an important aspect will be to partner with other organizations. This will encourage opportunities that may be anywhere from one day, one weekend, or longer, depending on the need or the intrest. The learning experiences will stem from any of the related disciplines within the performing or fine arts. All workshops will be open to children and adults from any community. (Age requirements will be specified in accordance with the timing of the event.)
PERFORMANCES
Whether a classical ballet, classic musical drama, or an original work in dance or theatre, all of PDM’s full length productions will have open auditions to anyone, from any community, regardless of the community in which the event is taking place. (Age requirements will be specified in accordance with the timing of the audition.)
We do not have, as of now, an ongoing partnership with a specific theatre or studio, from which to operate, so it will be imperative that the communities’ artists, schools, businesses, families, and faith based organizations in which a production is taking place, take an active role in the success of the project. This will especially be necessary when we look at creating original works because one of the goals is to use a variety of local artists of varying ages and skills. Another goal is to take the vision of scholarship winners from the “PDM Story Writing Contest”, and produce an original musical. (Which is along with a monetary gift, part of the award for being selected the winner.)
