this movie on the west coast.

Microenterprise Program Helps Atlanta Women Create Employment [cbww.org]
April 29, 2009
cbww.org - In light of massive layoffs battering the Georgia workforce, many women are finding themselves unable to provide for their families. The Women’s Economic Self-Sufficiency Program (WESSP) offered through the Center for Black Women’s Wellness (CBWW) is enabling Atlanta women to create their own jobs through a unique financial literacy and business development course.
The 17-week session is designed to help low- to moderate- income women in Atlanta develop a business idea and successfully lay the foundation to launch their own microenterprise. Defined as a business with five or fewer employees that require less than $35,000 in start-up capital, microenterprises represent the majority of U.S. businesses, yet without establishing the proper foundation, would-be entrepreneurs could find themselves mired in debt and stress. WESSP offers classes like How to Write a Business Plan, Pricing Products and Services, Bookkeeping and Taxes and Sales and Presentation Skills which are augmented by CBWW’s focus on the whole woman. Health and Wellness is promoted with referrals to CBWW’s on-site Safety Net Clinic for those who may not have insurance.
The next series of WESSP begins in August with information sessions and applications accepted in July.

What’s up with that Brother? Don Reed’s EAST 14th True Tales of A Reluctant Player
April 29, 2009
Don Reed
The Marsh, a breeding ground for new performance, is pleased to present Don Reed’s EAST 14th * True Tales of A Reluctant Player. In the spirit of John Leguizamo’s Freak, Sarah Jones’ Bridge And Tunnel and Whoopi Goldberg’s Whoppi, comes this hilarious solo show chronicling the true tale of a young man raised by his mother and ultra-strict step-father as a middle class, straight A, God-fearing church boy. The boy, however, wanted to be just like his dear old Dad. Too bad he didn’t know dear old Dad was a pimp. Very funny, definitely poignant — a ride down a street you won’t soon forget.
EAST 14th * True Tales of A Reluctant Player, opens for a limited engagement at The Marsh on May 8, 2009 and runs through June 14. The official opening night is Sunday, May 16. Weekend show times are Friday at 8:00 pm, Saturday at 8:30 pm and a Sunday matinee at 3:00 pm.
