That Color Blind Kind of Love will be performed on June 28-29, 2012 at the Woolly Mammoth Theatre in Washington, D.C. for DC Black Theatre Festival. TCBKOL takes audiences on a ride in and out of the past to the present in search of the true meaning of love, tolerance and diversity. Is love truly color blind in this so-called Post-race era of the nation’s first black president? Early Bird tickets are now available at http://www.eventbrite.com/

Perfect, directed by Gene Hughes, is returning to Off Broadway in ACT NOW Foundation's New Voices in Theatre Festival scheduled for July 27 - August 4, 2012 in Brooklyn, NY. Dreams of a career and fame - perfection - collide with motherhood and marriage in this tale of three best girlfriends from college. Can women have it all?
