We experienced a deeply moving and impactful play, “Shakin’ the Mess Outta Misery”, at Coppin State University yesterday.
It is a powerful and compelling story of a young woman coming of age and the community of women who guide and care for her. The story weaves traditions and spirituality from Africa seamlessly with those in America. At times horrific and provocative and others joyful and loving, it captures your attention and doesn’t let go. The words are well crafted and delivered, the singing is soul touching, the acting is convincing and the staging is stark yet complete. The theatre is intimate and the staff were all very welcoming. We all highly recommend it.
Our special thanks to Dr. Garey Hyatt for his kind invitation to attend this production.

It was a proud moment to watch TCS 9th grade student Danny Buck up on the stage receiving his award as a finalist and Dreamer in the Lyric’s Dream Big Contest! The program which will be rebroadcast on WBAL on May 14th including aa video on the Lyric’s work at Thee Community School that included interviews with our students and video of the class. Our thanks to Denise Gantt and Ebony Evans and all the folks at The Lyric for including us.

We were honored to have John Brenner and Philippia Richardson in for a “Conversation with..” today.  They are the administrators for the Early Admission Program at the University of Baltimore and have been providing college classes at the Community School this year.  The students engaged in a conversation with them about their backgrounds, educational experiences and careers. We appreciate the kindness of the University of Baltimore in providing this great opportunity for our students and especially the great working relationship with John and Philippia.

We had a fascinaating “Conversation with” long time activist, radio producer and interviewer Marc Steiner. Marc shared personal stories that intersected with the events the students are studying in the civil rights struggle including desegregation in Baltimore and Freedom Summer in Mississippi. The students were also interested in his career and the many people he has interviewed and issues that he has shed light on.
Thanks Marc for a great conversation.

This week’s broadcast covers labor strife with the writer’s guild that will affect many shows the students watch.  News around the school includes a Conversation with Sean Armstrong also know as DJ Face, the Home Improvement Seminar with Done Construction, the Financial Seminar on college funding and a special seminar on the journey many migrants to the U.S. take.
