The door is open.

This is Scene One to a play I wrote -- 

Setting: Elm City.  Winter. Young couple. Hakeem and Bella are dressing at Bella's loft. Hakeem is meeting Bella's entire family for the first time and her mother has just come home from prison. Bella's family traditions and culture stand in complete contrast to Hakeem's upbringing. This is scene one.

This weeks episode- We listen in on A conversation, in which, each person's true thoughts are unmuted, yet unheard by the other. When two people have been in a relationship for fifteen years or more, the communication during lunch/dinner can become very routine. In between the chit-chat bullshit, is silent truth-- the things we want to say to our partner/spouse but choose otherwise. In this episode we listen in on an interracial relationship between two women. Married 5yrs, together for 15 years. The restaurant is busy- A sound we miss, coaxing the background at B.A.R. Playhouse.

In a world, where Black women have the option to purchase their own customized, human adult Ken man- white men who have willingly allowed themselves to be programmed by software that renders fat from their sometimes, racist and discriminatory traits. The software, developed by two African American sisters from the inner city who studied S.T.E.M sciences ultimately became Microsoft's rival -- naming themselves, Micro and Soft. 

Since the election, there have been hacks at Micro and Soft leading to a mass recall of the Ken's. Hundreds of black women packed the lobby of Micro and Soft with their remote controlled Ken's. All saying goodbye. Let's tune in.

We continue with our Urban Soap Opera where we find pretty boy Mike still in jail awaiting his new lady, Crystal to bring him bail money. While preparing for the date Pretty Boy Mike set up for Crystal, she gets an unexpected visit from her sister Alex. Then shit gets crazy!

B.A.R. Play-House Presents: Episode 2 of Pretty Boy Ugly Man. Last week, Mike attempted to woo Diane out of her good sense, and money for his bail. Pretty Boy Mike failed. This week, still in Elm City Jail, Mike has chosen another of his ladies to ascend to the status of 'main thang'. Crystal, much different from Diane yet just as dumb, has come to visit Pretty Boy Mike. 

Thank You for Stopping By. Let's Tune in!
