About The Author Video

Irma Taylor, the architect of "Just Another Idea Production Company," realized that she could not devote a full-time career to her creative passions. Jobs had to be worked, children raised, home attended to, bills paid, etc. In the midst of it all, the artist inside craved to come out and donate its contributions to the creative realm.

I knew I didn't have to try and get rich by being an artist, but I did need to feed my God-given imaginative abilities while integrating them into my regular personal life. Along the way, I've acted with the NC Black Repertory Company (1980's- A Day of Absence) under the late Larry Leon Hamlin, performed in an Eve Ensler "Vagina Monologues" production (2006) and (Young Americans) written and directed by Andre Minkins. (2010)

Being a lover of the written word inspired me to spearhead a "Learn to Read" program at the East Winston Branch Library with the blessings of Tim Jackson, write a book review column (According to Irma) 1994, for the AC Phoenix, and have a booklet of poetry published (Bitter Honey) (1999) with N'Joy Publications. Currently, a play(Damaged Woman's Blues) has been born out of my original poetry.

This is what "Just Another Idea Production Company" is all about. We want to serve the everyday artist slumbering inside that person you just passed at the grocery store or who works alongside you at the job. Who, due to family obligations, can't get out a lot but has much to offer the artistic world. Whether it be through painting, writing, directing, or any other creative idea that seeks its freedom. Join us in bringing these desires to fruition from abstract to life.
