LJR Productions Presents All Jazzed Up on November 16
Two Erie natives-Luke Weyand and Julian R. Decker joined creative forces by starting a new production company based out of NYC. Alongside them is soon to be Erieite Rachel Beauregard who just got engaged to Luke in October. Together the three make up the LJR of LJR Productions.
About LJR Productions:
It is a Production Company that supports new works by all types of Artists. We are an equal rights organization that supports LGBTQ+, BIPOC, AAPI, LATINX, and all other marginalized and underdeveloped communities. An idea that started with one song and a dream, our desire is to be a platform for change and give a voice to those who might oftentimes not be heard. We pride ourselves on the fact that we pay all of our performers/creatives their worth as an artist. So oftentimes it is expected that side projects or new works be done for free, or out of the kindness of the performer's heart. We believe in the latter.
We are excited to announce our first show that will take place in NYC on November 16th at 7:30pm (doors open at 7:00pm) For those who wish to join us but cannot make the trip to the city-don’t fret because the one night only performance will be live streamed. With a pre show starting at 7:00pm. Ticket contributions
