SPECIAL PERFORMANCE! Join us this Valentine’s Day, (Saturday, February 14th) from 7-9 p.m. at Beloved for a staged reading of “A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer,” a collection of pieces by world-renowned authors and playwrights.

Presenters at this performance will include Laura Secord, Anne Bailey, Shaunteka Curry, Salaam Green, Cynthia Drake, Johnny Coley, DeJuana McCary, Mimi Latoine and Alicia Clavell.

These diverse voices rise up in a collective roar to break open, expose, and examine the insidiousness of violence at all levels: brutality, neglect, a punch, even a put-down. All proceeds will benefit the YWCA Central Alabama‘s Domestic Violence Services and Programs.

A complimentary buffet featuring Mediterranean soups, salads and appetizers will be offered. Wine may be brought for personal use. Suggested donation: $10 at the door.  All proceeds will go to Central Alabama’s YWCA Domestic Violence Services and Programs.

Limited seating. Arrive early or email/text reservations to Neko:  205-542-9689, neko.uchina@gmail.com.
