Providing Shelter, Food, Water and Relief Supplies
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Red Cross has a massive response to Superstorm Sandy underway to help people across multiple states.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090108/RedCrossLOGO )
The Red Cross is providing aid and comfort to thousands and has large relief operations underway in New York and New Jersey, where residents felt Sandy's biggest impact. Shelters and feeding sites are open and emergency vehicles are distributing food, water and relief supplies in these states.
"As we learn about neighborhoods in need, the Red Cross is immediately putting plans in place to provide people with food, water and relief supplies," said Charley Shimanski, senior vice president of Disaster Services for the Red Cross. "This is a challenging time for everyone who has been affected by the storm and we want everyone to know that we are doing everything possible to get help to them as quickly as possible."
MASSIVE RESPONSE Nearly 6,800 people spent Thursday night in almost 100 Red Cross shelters in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, West Virginia and Ohio. Thousands more are in their homes without power, water or heat. More than 3,800 Red Cross disaster workers are operating shelters, distributing food and relief supplies in affected communities and providing health services and emotional support.
The Red Cross has:
- Deployed 12 mobile kitchens capable of making 198,000 meals a day and shipped more than 852,000 ready-to-eat meals to the area. Almost 215,000 meals have been served so far.
- Activated more than two-thirds of the entire Red Cross fleet of response vehicles, which are beginning to distribute meals, water, snacks and relief supplies in neighborhoods.
- Mobilized 60 trailers loaded with relief supplies such as personal hygiene items, clean-up kits, rakes, shovels, tarps, dust masks and work gloves
- Deployed specialized workers who have already provided more than 5,000 health services and emotional support contacts to people affected by Sandy.
The Mexican Red Cross is also helping. Ten delegates are supporting American Red Cross health services activities in New York, focusing on providing health care and first aid services and referrals for clients in Red Cross shelters and emergency aid stations.
HOW TO HELP The Red Cross response to Sandy is very large, and will be very costly. People can make a financial donation in support of Red Cross Disaster Relief by visiting www.redcross.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or texting the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. They can also use the "donate" feature on the free Red Cross Apps for mobile devices to support this relief response. Contributions may also be sent to someone's local Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.
PLEASE GIVE BLOOD More than 360 Red Cross blood drives have been cancelled due to the storm, representing a loss of as many as 12,000 blood and platelet products. People who are eligible, especially in places not affected by the storm, are asked to schedule a donation appointment in the days and weeks to come.
To schedule a donation time or get more information about giving blood, people can visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). To give blood, someone must be at least 17 years of age, meet weight and height requirements and be in general good health. Donors should bring their Red Cross blood donor card or other form of positive ID with them. Some states allow 16-year-olds to give with parental consent.
LET LOVED ONES KNOW People can let their loved ones know how they are by using the "I'm Safe" button on the Red Cross Hurricane App, or registering on the Red Cross Safe and Well website. The Hurricane App, which also contains safety tips on what people should do after the storm, can be found in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for Android by searching for American Red Cross. To register on Safe and Well, people can visit www.redcross.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
RED CROSS SHELTERS To find a Red Cross shelter, people can download the Red Cross Hurricane app, visit the Red Cross web site, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767), or check local media outlets.

Samsung unveils Galaxy Note 3 Neo, featuring 5.5-inch display and S-Pen
Samsung Poland has officially taken the wraps off the rumoured Galaxy Note 3 Neo, its cheaper phablet aimed at customers on a budget.
The Neo will be shipping globally in February, in black, white and green, and in both 3G and LTE+ versions. The handset features a 5.5-inch AMOLED (720 x 1080) display, 8-megapixel BSI rear-camera with LED flash, 2-megapixel front-facing camera, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, MicroSD card support, and a 3,100 mAh battery.
In typical Samsung fashion LTE brings speed, as the LTE+ model features a speedier hexa-core processor with two 1.7GHz Cortex-A15 cores and four 1.3GHz Cortex-A7 cores, while the 3G version sticks to a quad-core 1.6GHz processor.
Compared to the Galaxy Note 3 that began shipping in autumn 2013, the Galaxy Note 3 Neo drops the specifications down a touch and sheds 0.2-inches off the screen. Samsung hasn't revealed any pricing, but it's assumed the Neo will be the cheaper take on the flagship Galaxy Note to save customers money. But don't worry, you'll still get the faux-leather back with your Neo purchase.
Samsung has already said it won't launch the Galaxy Note 3 Neo in the US or UK. We should have more details regarding worldwide availability closer to Mobile World Congress on 24 February.

They now have nine.
The Mets announced Thursday their intention to rejoin in the Gulf Coast League following their 2012 layoff from the rookie-level circuit.
The team, likely to comprise 2013 draftees and inexperienced international signees, joins 14 competitors in the GCL. New York, which bases its facilities in Port St. Lucie, Fla., had a presence in the league from 2004 to 2011. (The Mets last won the league title in 1999, just before their five-year break from participating.)
As a result of their return, the Mets will be the third Major League organization -- along with the Mariners and Rays -- to have nine Minor League affiliates this coming season. The majority of MLB clubs, 16, sport seven affiliates.
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson indicated in a statement that the Draft's earlier signing deadline, an addition to baseball's labor agreement last year, was the primary reason for this most recent re-institution. Simply put: More roster space was needed.
For all draftees except for college seniors, the deadline moved up from mid-August to mid-July, allowing first-year prospects to play significantly more ballgames than their predecessors. For example: Cecchini signed on June 8, then played in 58 games between Rookie-level Kingsport and Class A Short-Season Brooklyn. Nimmo, the first-round choice a year before Cecchini, signed on Aug. 15, 2011 and played 38 games between the GCL Mets and Kingsport in his debut campaign.
New York's No. 1 choice next June will also gain summer experience and, no matter who he is or where he comes from, there's a good chance he'll start in the GCL.

THE Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) has recognised that applying a single rate tax relief to pension contributions would offer "scope for simplification" of the employee benefits tax system.
Speaking at PBUK, the OTS also noted that it had learned to "try and stay involved" with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) when implementing changes.
When asked what view the OTS had on suggestions by pensions minister Steve Webb to apply a flat 30% tax relief to all pension contributions, tax director John Whiting said it was something that had been already "noted" by the body.
"When we did our release review, we noted this area as something that offered scope for simplification, and noted that a single flat rate in principal sounded like it would be a simplification," he said.
"That wasn't picked-up officially – we weren't asked to do any more work on it. So in strictness my answer is there's no formal view – we noted it as a possible area but haven't been asked to come back on it [by government].
"If people think it would be a simplification, then clearly it would feed in to our area," he added.
Whiting also acknowledged the difficulties many employers were facing in dealing with HMRC when it was implementing OTS measures.
"In strictness we make our recommendations, but we've learnt and we now try and stay involved.
"We hope to stay involved, but at the end of the day it's up to the Revenue. But there is actually a great will from the Revenue to improve things on the employee benefits side."
And he emphasised the importance of employee engagement: "I've a background in working in this area, and getting employees to understand is difficult, it is challenging.
"I remember it being some of the biggest things you have to do to implement a scheme."

This article argues that Spain has been the driving external force in the advancement of LGBT rights in Latin America, from marriage in Argentina to the regional recognition of "sexual diversity rights" as human rights. Acting as "norm entrepreneurs," Spanish activists and organizations, relying on development aid, have promoted their perspectives through two approaches: strategic consulting and resource transfer. Their diffusion is illustrated primarily by the Argentine case. There, activists underwritten by Spanish resources have borrowed Spanish strategies to achieve "the same rights with the same names." Besides broadening our understanding of the struggle for LGBT equality in Latin America, this article deepens the explanation of norm diffusion, focusing on emergence. In this stage, specific individuals and organizations deliberately select appropriate "targets" for and moments of intervention. But norm "receptors" must also be ready for action.

The outage, which began about 1:45 p.m. Central, lasted 46 minutes, Pingdom says.
Amazon.com Inc. went down this afternoon, starting at approximately 1:45 p.m. Central time, according to an alert from web site monitoring service Pingdom. The outage lasted 46 minutes, it said.
Amazon is No. 1 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide.
Consumers visiting the Amazon.com home page initially saw this message: "The website is currently unavailable as we make some improvements to our service." Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
By 1:30 p.m. Central, the message was changed to this:
We're very sorry, but we're having trouble doing what you just asked us to do. Please give us another chance--click the Back button on your browser and try your request again. Or start from the beginning on our homepage."
"AlertBot is currently reporting a Time-Out error, meaning we are able to connect but Amazon.com is failing to load," says Justin Noll, director of client experience for the site monitoring firm. "The issue began with connectivity errors, meaning AlertBot wasn't even able to connect to Amazon's servers."
In May, Amazon.com went down for less than 10 minutes.
According to the new Top 500 Guide, Amazon's site availability is 99.92%, with its web site response time at 2.95 seconds. Consumers on average spent 7 minutes and 15 seconds there per visit.

From one of England's most celebrated writers, the author of the award-winning The History Boys, a funny and superbly observed novella about the Queen of England and the subversive power of reading
When her corgis stray into a mobile library parked near Buckingham Palace, the Queen feels duty-bound to borrow a book. Discovering the joy of reading widely (from J. R. Ackerley, Jean Genet, and Ivy Compton-Burnett to the classics) and intelligently, she finds that her view of the world changes dramatically. Abetted in her newfound obsession by Norman, a young man from the royal kitchens, the Queen comes to question the prescribed order of the world and loses patience with the routines of her role as monarch. Her new passion for reading initially alarms the palace staff and soon leads to surprising and very funny consequences for the country at large.
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times
The Washington Post
The New York Times
British screenwriter, playwright, and novelist Bennett, author of the Tony Award-winning play The History Boys, has written a wry and unusual story about the subversive potential of reading. Bennett posits a theoretical situation in which Queen Elizabeth II becomes an avid reader, and the new ideas she thus encounters change the way she thinks and reigns. Coming upon a traveling library near Buckingham Palace, Elizabeth, who almost never reads, decides to take a look. Mostly out of politeness, she begins to borrow from the library via a kitchen page. As she begins to view reading as her "duty," a way "to find out what people are like," she is exposed to increasingly sophisticated books and ideas that criticize society. As Elizabeth loses interest in the chain of ship launches and groundbreakings that make up her reign, her staff becomes resentful, and the story ends in an unexpected way. Though the book is at times annoyingly snobbish and harping that people do not read enough, the unusual story line keeps readers engrossed. Recommended for larger public libraries and libraries where British literature is popular.
Christina Bauer
"Alan Bennett is one of the greatest comic writers alive, and The Uncommon Reader is Bennett at his best--touching, thoughtful, hilarious, and exquisite in its observations." Helen Fielding, author of Bridget Jones's Diary
"In The Uncommon Reader, Bennett poses a delicious and very funny what-if . . . a delightful little book that unfolds into a witty meditation on the subversive pleasures of reading. . . . Mr. Bennett has written a captivating fairy tale . . . a tale that showcases its author's customary èlan and keen but humane wit." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Hilarious and stunning . . . The conceit offered here by Mr. Bennett, the beloved British author and dramatist, is that a woman of power can find and love the power in books. It is a simple equation and one that yields deep rewards. In what is a surprising and surprisingly touching novella, Mr. Bennett shows us why books matter to the queen, his "uncommon reader" and why they matter so much to the rest of us." Carol Herman, The Washington Times
"Hilarious and pointed . . . The Uncommon Reader is a political and literary satire. But it's also a lovely lesson in the redemptive and subversive power of reading and how one book can lead to another and another and another. . . . But most of all, The Uncommon Reader is a lot of fun to read." Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today
"One of the most subtly ingratiating prose stylists of our time . . . charming enough and wise enough that you will certainly want to keep it around for rereading--unless you decided to share it with friends." Michael Dirda, The Washington Post
"Clever and entertaining . . . The Uncommon Reader is a celebration of both reading and its counterpart, independent thinking." Maud Newton, Los Angeles Times

Read an Excerpt
At Windsor it was the evening of the state banquet and as the president of France took his place beside Her Majesty, the royal family formed up behind and the procession slowly moved off and through into the Waterloo Chamber.
'Now that I have you to myself,' said the Queen, smiling to left and right as they glided through the glittering throng, 'I've been longing to ask you about the writer Jean Genet.'
'Ah,' said the president. 'Oui.'
The 'Marseillaise' and the national anthem made for a pause in the proceedings, but when they had taken their seats Her Majesty turned to the president and resumed.
'Homosexual and jailbird, was he nevertheless as bad as he was painted? Or, more to the point,' and she took up her soup spoon, 'was he as good?'
Unbriefed on the subject of the glabrous
playwright and novelist, the president looked wildly about for his minister of culture. But she was being addressed by the Archbishop of Can-terbury.
'Jean Genet,' said the Queen again, helpfully. 'Vous le connaissez?'
'Bien sûr,' said the president.
'Il m'intéresse,' said the Queen.
'Vraiment?' The president put down his spoon. It was going to be a long evening.
It was the dogs' fault. They were snobs and ordinarily, having been in the garden, would have gone up the front steps, where a footman generally opened them the door.
Today, though, for some reason they careered along the terrace, barking their heads off, and scampered down the steps again and round the end along the side of the house, where she could hear them yapping at something in one of the yards.
It was the City of Westminster travelling library, a large removal-like van parked next to the bins outside one of the kitchen doors. This wasn't a part of the palace she saw much of, and she had certainly never seen the library parked there before, nor presumably had the dogs, hence the din, so having failed in her attempt to calm them down she went up the little steps of the van in order to apologise.
The driver was sitting with his back to her, sticking a label on a book, the only seeming borrower a thin ginger-haired boy in white overalls crouched in the aisle reading. Neither of them took any notice of the new arrival, so she coughed and said, 'I'm sorry about this awful racket,' where-upon the driver got up so suddenly he banged his head on the Reference section and the boy in the aisle scrambled to his feet and upset Photography & Fashion.
She put her head out of the door. 'Shut up this minute, you silly creatures,' which, as had been the move's intention, gave the driver/librarian time to compose himself and the boy to pick up the books.
'One has never seen you here before, Mr . . .'
'Hutchings, Your Majesty. Every Wednesday, ma'am.'
'Really? I never knew that. Have you come far?'
'Only from Westminster, ma'am.'
'And you are ?'
'Norman, ma'am. Seakins.'
'And where do you work?'
'In the kitchens, ma'am.'
'Oh. Do you have much time for reading?'
'Not really, ma'am.'
'I'm the same. Though now that one is here I suppose one ought to borrow a book.'
Mr Hutchings smiled helpfully.
'Is there anything you would recommend?'
'What does Your Majesty like?'
The Queen hesitated, because to tell the truth she wasn't sure. She'd never taken much interest in reading. She read, of course, as one did, but liking books was something she left to other people. It was a hobby and it was in the nature of her job that she didn't have hobbies. Jogging, growing roses, chess or rock climbing, cake decoration, model aeroplanes. No. Hobbies involved preferences and preferences had to be avoided; pref-
erences excluded people. One had no preferences. Her job was to take an interest, not to be interested herself. And besides, reading wasn't doing. She was a doer. So she gazed round the book-lined van and played for time. 'Is one allowed to borrow a book? One doesn't have a ticket?'
'No problem,' said Mr Hutchings.
'One is a pensioner,' said the Queen, not that she was sure that made any difference.
'Ma'am can borrow up to six books.'
'Six? Heavens!'
Meanwhile the ginger-haired young man had made his choice and given his book to the librarian to stamp. Still playing for time, the Queen picked it up.
'What have you chosen, Mr Seakins?' expecting it to be, well, she wasn't sure what she expected, but it wasn't what it was. 'Oh. Cecil Beaton. Did you know him?'
'No, ma'am.'
'No, of course not. You'd be too young. He always used to be round here, snapping away. And a bit of a tartar. Stand here, stand there. Snap, snap. And there's a book about him now?'
'Several, ma'am.'
'Really? I suppose everyone gets written about sooner or later.'
She riffled through it. 'There's probably a picture of me in it somewhere. Oh yes. That one.
Of course, he wasn't just a photographer. He designed, too. Oklahoma!, things like that.'
'I think it was My Fair Lady, ma'am.'
'Oh, was it?' said the Queen, unused to being contradicted. 'Where did you say you worked?' She put the book back in the boy's big red hands.
'In the kitchens, ma'am.'
She had still not solved her problem, knowing that if she left without a book it would seem to Mr Hutchings that the library was somehow lacking. Then on a shelf of rather worn-looking
volumes she saw a name she remembered. 'Ivy Compton-Burnett! I can read that.' She took the book out and gave it to Mr Hutchings to stamp.
'What a treat!' she hugged it unconvincingly before opening it. 'Oh. The last time it was taken out was in 1989.'
'She's not a popular author, ma'am.'
'Why, I wonder? I made her a dame.'
Mr Hutchings refrained from saying that this wasn't necessarily the road to the public's heart.
The Queen looked at the photograph on the back of the jacket. 'Yes. I remember that hair, a roll like a pie-crust that went right round her head.' She smiled and Mr Hutchings knew that the visit was over. 'Goodbye.'
He inclined his head as they had told him at the library to do should this eventuality ever arise, and the Queen went off in the direction of the garden with the dogs madly barking again, while Norman, bearing his Cecil Beaton, skirted a chef lounging outside by the bins having a cigarette and went back to the kitchens.
Shutting up the van and driving away, Mr Hutchings reflected that a novel by Ivy Compton-Burnett would take some reading. He had never got very far with her himself and thought, rightly, that borrowing the book had just been a polite gesture. Still, it was one that he appreciated and
as more than a courtesy. The council was always threatening to cut back on the library, and the patronage of so distinguished a borrower (or customer, as the council preferred to call it) would do him no harm.
'We have a travelling library,' the Queen said to her husband that evening. 'Comes every Wednesday.'
'Jolly good. Wonders never cease.'
'You remember Oklahoma!?'
'Yes. We saw it when we were engaged.' Extraordinary to think of it, the dashing blond boy he had been.
'Was that Cecil Beaton?'
'No idea. Never liked the fellow. Green shoes.'
'Smelled delicious.'
'What's that?'
'A book. I borrowed it.'
'Dead, I suppose.'
'The Beaton fellow.'
'Oh yes. Everybody's dead.'
'Good show, though.'
And he went off to bed glumly singing 'Oh, what a beautiful morning' as the Queen opened her book.

Whether or not you buy the dramatic twist at the end, this little book is engaging, original and surprisingly funny. I found myself smiling and nodding throughout and on several occasions laughing aloud. The book can be enjoyed on several levels, as Bennett covers serious, timely themes about the value, pleasure and role of reading and the way that fits into the modern world. You can derive from it what you will. It's an easy, fun read, well worth the rather minimal time required for the 120 page novella.
Alan Bennett has brilliantly crafted a creative testimonial to the life-changing power of reading. This captivating novella cleverly imagines the happenings following Queen Elizabeth II's accidental discovery of the library's bookmobile on the castle grounds. She reads one book...then another...and soon she is more deeply devoted to her books than she is to her public duties. Excuses are made to accomodate her passionate reading habit, and staff members began to resent her literary pursuit. Eventually, she begins recording notes and musings in a notebook. A laugh-out-loud ending completes this charming book. Mr. Bennett has written a delightful tale about discovering the wonderful world of literature and how it can happily change lives, even the Queen of England's! He has beautifully portrayed a passionate reader...always yearning to get back to one's book. I could certainly relate to the Queen's obsession with books. As with her, finding the time to read is a priority and very often reading interferes with my everyday duties. I have also experienced resentment from others when I branched out to do something different. I absolutely loved this delightfully entertaining book. It left me reflecting on how reading has influenced my life.
I have given this book as a gift at least six times, always to rave reviews. It has laugh-out-loud moments, it's engrossing, and for the two hours it takes to read one finds oneself very much elsewhere. Good for anyone who really loves to read.
Her Majesty the Queen takes up a new hobby, reading and she finds it drains her of enthusiasm of anything else. Reading becomes her addiction an addiction that causes her to ignore everything and everyone. Her devotion to reading disrupts her family and household and they scheme to get her to stop reading so much when as suddenly as she began reading she slows down but what they don¿t know is she¿s writing. She started writing after coming to the realization that she had no voice. She throws a party and makes an announcement so tremendous everyone pauses in shock.
This delightful modern fairy tale casts HRM Elizabeth II as the heroine who, while pursuing an errant corgi, stumbles late into a mobile library and a life of reading, thereby disconcerting her husband, relatives, the powers that be in the palace, and the Prime Minister to name a few. Easily gulped in one happy sitting, this book is the perfect gift for the truly addicted readers in your life. I suspect many will have the same reaction as the first person I gave a copy, who said, 'Don't you wish it were true?' Well, yes. One does.
From the summary and title, this sounded like a cute and charming read. And it was. The writing I especially liked and well, the Queen's love boos and well, just reading. Trying to read more book theme type books.
Alan Bennet creates an odd sequence of events that you would never expect to happen. In the beginning I would have never thought that Queen Elizabeth would develop such a loce for books that would interfere with her duties of being the Queen. While reading the book you see the Queen's life trasform from a normal queen to one who likes to sit inside and read all day. With an unexpected situation such as this Alan Bennet keeps you wanting to read more to find out all of the interesting twists of the story.
In the book, The Uncommon Reader, a novella, by Alan Bennett, readers see a more human version of the Queen. In this novel, the Queen comes upon a traveling library while out with her dogs. She decides to check out a book although she has not read in many years. A week later she returns the book, unsatisfied, however she decides to check out one more book. This book, The Pursuit of Love, got the Queen enamored about reading. Soon enough the Queen is bringing her book everywhere and often making decisions based on the lessons she has learned from the books. I thought this book was a very enjoyable read because it allowed me to see a more human side to the Queen. Through reading books, the Queen was able to connect more with the people she served, learning about the lives they lived through the characters she read about. This allowed her to better serve the people. Alan Bennett did a great job in allowing readers to see a more relatable version of the Queen. Although this novella does have strong language, I would recommend it to any teenage and adult who wants a quick fun read. Sometimes you can relate to even the most well known people, even the Queen.
I really must read more of Alan Bennett.
People who read a lot will love this witty book.
With unexpected last line that made me laugh:)
This would be a book I'd recommend to a reluctant high school student who had a book review to hand in the next day. I always wanted to do the bookmobile thing.
A charming and pleasant easy read - recommended to others who found it to be just that. Makes the Queen very human. MA38
With the dry wit the Brits are famous for, Bennett imagines the Queen of England discovering the joys of reading in her later middle age. Clever pokes at the institution of the monarchy are just frosting on the cake. Short, enjoyable read.

This is the option to sign up for regular delivery of something (monthly, for instance) and have products show up at your door, no further work required. Amazon has been offering this for a while. Companies specializing in the service include BirchBox, Blissmobox, Shoedazzle, and Manpacks. While all these startups are gaining their foothold, none can match the success of Amazon, according to Sean Percival, former VP of Myspace. If you are interested in a pretty infographic of the concept, visit blog.kissmetrics.com. Do you think these monthly box subscriptions will have the 15-minute fame of Los del Rio (the Macarena) or become a business staple with the longevity of the Rolling Stones?

There's no more question on this one. Consumers are using and will continue to use their phones for browsing the web and shopping until we invent some sort of direct brain-to-Internet chip and no longer need them. To that end, Dann Wilson, on Get Elastic, spells out a few key points from Internet Retailer's Mobile Commerce Forum for those of us who are interested but were not present. Wilson addresses the convergence of mobile phones and physical stores; essentially, it is the ROPO effect with a mobile aftertaste. Also, apps and mobile sites are not the same, and consumers do not expect your site to be as engaging as an app (read: consumers expect apps to be more engaging than your site).

This play is well worth seeing. It's gritty, in-your-face, but leaves you with a very clear picture of the life of a teen female gang-banger, the things she's encountered growing up that fuel the choices she makes later on, etc. The simplicity of the stage set is ingenious, and the transition from one act to the next is almost seamless.

This was a realistic glimpse into the tragic culture of inner-city girl gangs. The acting was superb and the story compelling. This show is a must see!
Quotes & Highlights
"A searing, take-no-prisoners play." —Chicago Sun-Times
The Studio 2ndStage kicks off its 20th anniversary season with Breath, Boom: the gritty, vivid story of one woman's journey from gang girl to grown-up. The play follows fourteen years in the life of Prix as she goes from sixteen-year-old gang queen to mature, thirty-year-old woman. This will be the Washington premiere of the work of playwright Kia Corthron, an important voice in contemporary African-American theatre whose work has never seen a full production in DC. Emerging talent Rahaleh Nassri directs a young, dynamic, and multi-ethnic cast of twelve women and one man, featuring powerhouse performer Roxi Trapp-Dukes as Prix.
