The idea for Porch Play Productions came both from Larry & Rachel Moore’s daughter, Lyric Moore, who created and produced her first play The Last Apple at age 4 on their front porch and a conversation between friends, The Moore’s and Christopher and Rachel Hayes, who found they wanted to create a performance team that put on musical plays for families. Moore Performing Arts, Inc. has created and produced several major productions in the past and now they are moving into a new season of streamline creativity...Porch Plays, where every play the group creates will be launched from the porch of a house.
A Porch Launch of My Cinderella will be held the Sunday prior to the Circle Theatre performances for a private audience of supporters.
