Taken By Storm Entertainment

Founded in 2003, Taken By Storm Entertainment is the brainchild of Sheila M. Crawford, President and CEO of the promotions, artist development, marketing and special events planning entertainment organization based in the Washington DC Metropolitan area. Taken plans, organizes and hosts 'Emerging Artists' showcases, which provide a platform on which today's brightest Emerging Artists can hone, expose and enhance their craft. Taken is also on the cusp of becoming a premier liaison to major casting agencies in search of promising, on-the-rise actors and models for tv, film and print projects. In addition, all showcase events incorporate the spirit of giving back to the community. All participants and spectators are asked to donate non-perishable food items for distribution to area aid agencies that support our fellow brothers and sisters who are in need. Special incentives are built into each event to encourage giving and to feel good about making a difference in someone's life.
