He has directed several plays in the city of Charlotte, funded by a grant issued from the Arts and Science Council, all of which aim to spotlight African American playwrights.
?:The other poet is a secret, suffice to mention he is a National Poetry Slam Champion, an HBO’s Def Poetry Jam regular. And an all around nice person.
JUggler: The Amazing TJ, is leaving the island, this is his farewell performance. His juggling, chin balancing and charm have made him a true crowd favorite, he will be missed.
