DaGrip with Pierre McElhaney- ”Against All odds” - The William Shug Battle Story - produced and written by Wanda Dee

 

Pierre McElhaney is known in North and South Carolina for contributing a significant body of work to theater.  He is a product of Gastonia, NC and a graduate of Ashbrook High School. In our conversation, he shares his passion for acting and how he remains motivated to inspire others. He recalls getting his start in acting while just a kid at Center Baptist Church, Gastonia, NC.

McElhaney is not shy about the power of stage plays. In the interview, he stated he believes people that won't got to church will buy tickets to a show.  After dropping that nugget, I asked him to explore his thoughts so we could really understand  his views on the changing culture.

McElhaney is the founder of NEZO entertainment and through his organization he launches his personal work and collaborates with his son and many others in the business. McElhaney said in our post interview dialogue, Covid-19 brought some setbacks, but through it all God still moved on his behalf.
