The Future of Geechie Anne Productions Depends on your Support!

To achieve long-standing dynamic and innovative workings, we need your help! The Support you provide will help with ongoing operational costs, enable us to hire full-time employees and build a sustainable working future. There aren't many Multi-Disciplinary Performing Arts Companies and not enough Women of Color in Stage Production and Stage Direction Roles. Women in this field of expertise are not often thought of first to Direct, Design, Choreograph or Produce large-scale productions. Geechie Anne Productions is on a mission to change that narrative. We serve a particular market niche that is viable and lucrative but needs more representation. Geechie Anne Productions is primed to be a leading force in the Field of Arts and Entertainment, yet how we proceed in the future is crucial. Knowing we have the opportunity to increase our audience base by more than 50% is our driving force. Our Goal within the next 5 Years is to Create and Produce several "New" live Music, Dance, Theater, compelling Virtual Content, Live Streaming actual events, and Performance works that appeal to various tastes and Audiences of all ages and backgrounds. We expect long-term financial stability from multiple revenue streams by maintaining S.M.A.R.T- Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound to deliver the best quality productions and services within established production budgets. Our passion and artistry show when one of our productions hits the stage, but we also love to see others shine... Our Future is bright, and we have many incredible works to share. Please consider contributing to our Shine Today.
