THE TOUR WILL NOT ONLY ENTERTAIN BUT EDUCATE BY BRINGING AWARENESS TO MENTAL HEALTH

(Louisville, Ky) Leslie Pryor Productions, (LPP) a woman led theater company is excited to announce “Murder at the Disco Lounge” the tour. If you did not get to see the show in Louisville in June, you missed a treat. Because of the overwhelming response, Leslie Pryor and her team decides to go to the fans who may not be able to travel. 

The first stop on the tour will be Lexington, KY. On Saturday, September 14^th at 6:00 pm. The show will take place at the Tates Creek Ballroom, 1400 Gainesway Drive.  There will be only one show taking place at this beautiful venue. If you are not familiar with “Murder at the Disco Lounge” let’s set the scene for you. The production takes you to the disco era of the 1970s where everyone listened to Donna Summer, Earth, Wind & Fire, the Bee Gees and Sister Sledge. While wearing afros along with bright fluorescent colors and patterned ‘hot pants’, and halter-neck tops and of course platform shoes. They wore pretty much anything that made them standout. While enjoying the good times an incident takes place.  Turning the disco lounge into a crime scene and murder mystery. Where the audience will help solve the case.  

“Murder at the Disco Lounge,” is a gripping mystery from jealousy, ambition, to betrayal and it will all unfold before the audience.  The tale that will keep theatergoers on the edge of their seats. 

The show was created by Leslie Pryor of Leslie Pryor Productions. The CEO and founder of the production company also wrote and directs this show.  Pryor says, “If you dream, have confidence and study your craft anything is possible. I’m blessed to also have such a gifted group of actors that helped bring my vision to life. Come prepared to participate it really does bring an exciting element. I hope to see you in Lexington and other towns across the bluegrass.”

Not only are we asking you to participate but dress the part.  Audience members are asked to come dressed in 70s style attire, but it’s not required.   

The cast of “Murder at the Disco Lounge” is comprised of seven talented African Americans renowned actors and actresses with Kentucky roots featuring: Gwendolyn Evans, Delane Bracken, Marquita Howerton, Gwen Jeffrey, and Reggie Johnson. We also welcome new actors to LPP, K.G. and Evit Emerson who appeared on the TVOne series Fatal Attraction.

The show will be hosted by Lexington’s own super star Comedienne LCFunny. The show will feature area singers, dancers, a best-dress contest, and a heavy hors d’oeuvres bar. 

Pryor also says, “While we are enjoying the show, you will learn some signs and symptoms when it comes to a family member and/or friend maybe experiencing a mental health crisis. We need to look out for another and understand what we are seeing and get the person medical attention for the disorder.”

Mental illness is a blanket category because there’s at least ten different disorders from anxiety, depression, bipolar, eating, post-traumatic stress disorder, (PTSD) to neurodevelopmental.  According to the National Alliance of Mental Illness, (NAMI) one in five U.S. adults experience mental illness each year.  In Kentucky, 746,000 adults have a mental condition.  To put into perspective that’s more than 10 times the population of Bowling Green, KY. 

NAMI also says that while mental illness affects people of all cultural backgrounds, access to quality mental health services are often out of reach for those in minority communities, leaving many undiagnosed, untreated or undertreated. Its also a known fact that many in the Black community tend not to reach out for assistance.
