Mission: K pritchard productions, inc. Mission is to touch hearts and stimulate imaginations, to unify communities and diverse populations; to embrace the elders and underserved by rekindling memories and bringing them to life through the power of live musical performances.

Programs: Since inception of our senior outreach program in 2006, kp productions has increased the number of alzheimer, assisted living and day care facilities that it serves. The focus of our outreach program is to provide musical entertainment reminiscent of their early years to seniors who suffer from alzheimer's and other debilitating illnesses, and who are medically, physically and/or financially unable to attend musical performances outside the facility. To date our outreach program has served in excess of 4,200 seniors in broward county. Our outreach program fulfills a vital need for this immobile audience and we continually strive to provide programs that stimulate their memory, encourage emotional expression and communication as well as inspire inter-active group socialization that will enhance their quality of life. To further promote interaction, we initiate a quiz midway through our program whereby questions related to the theme of our show are asked and prizes are given for correct responses. We have found this to be quite effective increasing interest, attention, participation and communication. K pritchard productions also continues its goal to secure long-term stability by raising funds that ensures the financial health of the organization. Kp production is committed to continue to provide an extraordinary level of original musicals and explore the talent of local play writers and performers. Kp productions has extended its season to include year-round performances while continuing to support educational, civic and cultural programs, recognizing the vital role the arts play in building communities and education young and old alike.
