Brooklyn, NY, October 20, 2006 --(PR.com)-- PDM Performing Arts Corporation (formerly known as The Pershay Dance Ministry Corporation) decided to take their play production out of the church and on to the stage at the Kumble Theater of the Performing Arts in Brooklyn, NY. The PDM community workshop theater raised funds to rent the beautifully spacious Kumble Theater in downtown Brooklyn across the street from the world famous Junior’s restaurant. The Kumble Theater is a dynamic, state-of-the art performance venue serving one of the most diverse campuses and communities in the country. Trevi Pershay the CEO/Founder of the PDM Performing Arts program decided that she wanted her youth and adults to have a real life experience by performing on a off Broadway stage. Ms. Pershay wanted to reach her audience who do not go to church and decided let the church come to them.
PDM is a Brooklyn based Production Company that is founded by Trevi Pershay who had developed workshops at the Van Dyke Community Center in Brooklyn, NY. Ms. Pershay programs not only teaches drama to youth and adults; they also offer a full dance program and (hip-hop, liturgical, theatric dance, flag dancing to youth ages 8 – 20) and is currently working on youth leadership and educational workshops. Ms. Pershay plays are well known throughout the community of Brooklyn, for their heart wrenching plays that have repeatedly left their audience in tears and ideas of hope.
Mrs. Pershay's play Tale of 2 Spirit – Power vs. Position have been aired in Bahamas, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Southern Jersey and Washington DC via Satellite (Light Up The World Network Productions). Although her plays are inspirational pieces they relate and deal with real life issues that her audience can relate to. Mrs. Pershay has written and produced several plays in the last two years and has not stopped since. She has hits like: Christian Scrooge, Drama High, Love Don’t Live Here No Mo, Tale of 2 Sprits Power vs. Position and her latest productions The Journey of A Blackman – R U Your Brother’s Keeper. With all of these successful plays under her belt, Mrs. Pershay has been touted as being the female version of Tyler Perry. Mrs. Pershay is very modest about how she takes all of the compliments she receives, about her ability to bring real issues and real drama to the stage, and says most of what her writing comes from her upbringing in the church, and from childhood experiences.
