LOGAN MYLES STACER

LEADER | STORYTELLER | HUMORIST

The Kansas City Star says I am "transforming the future of Kansas City." The We Are Family Foundation recognized me as a top under-30 creative leader in the world. My grandma says I am "still her little buddy."Storytelling is an art. So, too, is leadership. I take the craft of them both very seriously. With an impulse for punchlines and a heart for humanity, I would love to learn how I can serve you.

LEADER

SERVANT LEADER,
TRANSFORMATIVE TEACHER

"You are a leader in this classroom" -My 5th grade teacher, to me, after I started a food fight during snack time.I must have internalized her message. After said food fight, I would go on to get a minor in Leadership Studies at Kansas State University, be celebrated as a grassroots activist in my hometown of Kansas City, and serve as a mentor at the 2025 Just Peace Summit in Stockholm, Sweden.From teenagers developing the next generation of climate solutions to professional artists looking to use their voice for good, I have proven able to lead with humility, curiosity, and a hunger for growth. This mentality has led to local and international recognition and I would love to bring my experience to your team.

STORYTELLER

CLASSICALLY TRAINED, CULTURALLY INFORMED

The state of Kansas takes the activity of speech and debate very seriously. Competitive success was the springboard for my career that has since absorbed a diverse range of knowledge about the craft of writing and performing as I have grown into a professional storyteller.I have been blessed to train under a Tony-Winning Actor at the New York Public Theater, A MacArthur Genius Award-Winning playwright and performer at New York University, and an Emmy-Winning television writer at the Upright Citizen's Brigade.As such, my writing and performing experience includes poetry, stand-up comedy, hip-hop theatre, film and television, and my personal favorite, sketch comedy. I am also a SAG-eligible actor and model represented by Exposure.During my time at my 501(c)3, Heartland Arts KC, I collaborated with artists of all disciplines to write and produce variety shows about relevant policy issues in Kansas City, partnering with institutions like Starlight Theater and the KC Ballet.

HUMORIST

HIGH CONCEPT TO HILARIOUS

But enough about me, let me tell you about some of my clients.A television writer came to me with two pilot scripts. After a few weeks working closely together, both scripts got optioned by major networks.An event producer had a celebrity hosting a fundraising gala. I scripted the celebrity's speeches and run of show and the event raised nearly $1,000,000.A Foundation with global reach wanted to build community with its grantees. I helped develop a digital magazine that connected leaders from all around the world.Storytelling takes many forms. I have helped clients achieve their goals whether passion projects, brand building, or event production. Whatever storytelling need you have–
