Stories That Stir the Heart
Story has been a vehicle used for centuries to grab the attention and stir the hearts of others. Story has the power to move, reveal, unravel, expose, mend, and heal. Out of Mind Productions is, at its core, a storytelling company. Out of Mind Productions was founded by Lauren Hance, with the vision of bringing original and published works to life through live theatre and film.
Collaboration is a focal point for Out of Mind Productions. Our Theatrical Productions have teamed with schools, colleges, and churches to present high-quality original and published works. We have also partnered with film makers to produce films for the 48 Hour Film Project.
We continue to seek other partners to bring to life stories that stir the heart.
THEATRE
