WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2020, LPPACC is the non-profit arm of Leslie Pryor Productions. Our mission is to empower and educate our community on real life and social issues through the following principles: education and training, health and wellness, and community bridging through the arts. Through Leslie Pryor Productions, and now LPPACC, we have been impacting our community for over 12 years by bringing awareness to socially conscious issues with our on-stage productions. By portraying real-life situations, we are able to advocate for various movements that promote equality for all Americans.
Outside of our on-stage productions we provide a variety of community forward services like our thespian focused training workshops, including our program known as The Actors Boot Camp. Our creative arts programs allow our community to participate in a range of activities that encourage creative and imaginative expression. These activities include but are not limited to, music, painting, choreography, architecture, creative writing, and the culinary arts.
We also focus on health and wellness programs, like our Baby Steps Fitness Program, which allow us to bring daily, healthy change to the lives of our participants. We believe that health education programs are extremely important for communities in Louisville. Health maintenance is a life-long journey that requires active participation, we aim to provide guidance that will instill productive and beneficial habits for those who patriciate. Through these different avenues we can show our members the importance of community development programs. Community bridging is the most important mission of LPPACC. We believe that by bringing different communities and cultures together for the common good of the arts, health and wellness, and continual education we can improve the lives of those around us.
