Comment posted by Anonymous on Tue, 09/02/2008 - 1:13pmA group of at least 20 actors amazed us all at the Kennedy Center’s Page To The Stage Festival 08 with a brilliant performance of a play entitled “Laws Of The STREET”! The play was about a young African American Teenager who was had a rough life and tried to change but change was impossible. He ended up dying. This story and the elements that went along with this young man’s journey left me near tears. This was a powerful social performance. The entire cast was outstanding. I went to their website and saw that this is actually a TV show. This is brilliant. I advise that you visit these talented artists website: www.lawsofthestreet.com.
I don’t know if you all will ever see this but I am a fan! Congratulations and keep up the good deeds.
