With Love Productions Inc was founded in 2010 by Creative Director Alessandra Stillinger. WLP prides itself on being able to provide members of the community with free instruction in performing arts. Students and adults have the opportunity to work with experienced choreographers and directors as well as receive instruction in various aspects of the performing arts in a positive, enriching learning environment. By offering free instruction and mentorship programs including but not limited to; dance, choreography, singing, acting, stage management, technical work backstage, set design, art direction and more, we provide our youth and volunteers first-hand experience in the performing arts while working together side by side to break social barriers. During our eight year contribution to the city of Lakeland we have produced seventeen full scale productions and over thirty smaller performances that have featured all forms of artistry here in Polk County.
Our organization’s mission is to entertain, inspire, and educate the community through the communal power of performance art. WLP sees art education as an opportunity to teach discipline, integrity, collaboration, leadership, introspection, and empathy – skills which are vital to the strength and well-being of individuals as well as the greater community. Our mission is guided by our vision to bring a passion of life and love to the community through art. WLP believes that we can enrich not only young lives, but the lives of all ages by offering the opportunity to experience discipline, a sense of achievement, physical, mental and emotional well-being, confidence and self-respect.
We have performed at various events and venues throughout Central Florida including but not limited to; Polk Theatre, Lkldlive, Downtown Lakeland’s First Friday, Orlando Weekly’s zombie ball, PlatformART, Zombiefest, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show Experience, Hispanic Festival of Lakeland, Centro Asturiano de Tampa.
