  • The Producing House

    Producer

    We create things. We produce shows. We merge ideas with money and deliver entertainment. Right now we are producing Power Balladz.

    We wrote the show a while back and presented it a few times in front of select audiences to see how it would play. People loved it, we loved doing it, and we always wanted to realize a more complete production. These things take time, and so after a few years of shopping the show around to various creative and producer types we decided to man up and really make the show a reality ourselves.
