Greetings, supporters, and sponsors!

Prince Lyons is back, presenting a new sponsorship opportunity furthering conversation in St. Louis on mental health, queer and bipoc related issues, and educational inequality facing our youth. PRNZ Productions presents We're All Pretty Broken, an original dance film written, choreographed, and produced by Prince Lyons; and co-directed and filmed by Brian Verbarg.

This film also features the music and performances of the critically acclaimed Saint Louis rapper, Mvstermind.

We're all Pretty Broken is a fictitious 40-minute dance film premiering in May 2022 in St. Louis, MO. The story eloquently follows the activity of three complex high school students and a devoted teacher (Arik Sexton) in Saturday Detention. The diverse collective includes rebel Roxie (Josselyn Baker), queer outcast Zane (Dave X), and Jordan (Prince Lyons), the troublemaker. The film unpacks the complexities of being a high school student,  the paramount commitment of being a teacher, and the impact of our educational system's harmful pressures on our youth.

2021 – 2022 KRANZBERG RESIDENT ARTISTS:
The Kranzberg Arts Foundation has long been a major patron of the arts in St. Louis and is committed to aligning its resources to aid and advance the flourishing renaissance of the arts in the St. Louis area. In September 2021, I, along with 14 other incredible artists, was named a 2021 – 2022 Kranzberg Resident Artist. 

WHAT YOU'RE SUPPORTING:
While The Kranzberg Arts Foundation has presented PRNZ Productions with an initial grant and viewing spaces to show this original work, fundraising a total of $12,000  will help cover the cost of this $16,000 production and pay our artists to share this beautiful and impactful story. In addition, we can promote essential conversations across the St. Louis community and improve health and education services for BIPOC youth with your assistance.

A contribution in any amount will help make this pivotal work possible. Sponsors of $1,000 or more will be listed in our credits and gifted a ticket to our premiere in downtown St. Louis this upcoming May. 

 

I am excited to share more about this endeavor with you soon, and I encourage you to become a monthly subscriber of my work by donating monthly to my Fractured Atlas Profile.

Thank you for your investment in the arts and sharing of BIPOC perspectives.
