Drugs in entertainment:

Like drugs anywhere else, the entertainment field has its fill. Today we will address one of the number one abused controlled substances in our Industry. This substance is called crack.

Crack, the ultimate illusion and weapon of the wicked, imposed to retard the production of an otherwise productive society. Crack is the lethal dose of cocaine cooked up in baking soda, and distributed as a killer to the weak of our nation. The strong must stand up, say no and then use whatever methods necessary under the conscience of God to destroy crack. Crack deprives the potential producers of our nation of productivity, and places the intelligence of genius in the state of gradualism. As one of the great men of our nation quoted in the past, “gradualism is little more than escapism, and do nothing-ism which ends up in stand still-ism.

As many great leaders of the past has confirmed, the only way to meet violence is with violence, we NOW state that the only way to bring about the destruction that crack is causing within our nation is to stand up with an astounding “hell no, we wont take no more”.

We must have the strong inner conviction that our beliefs in the Supreme Creator will abide with us, as it did with our Lord to join forces to stomp out the demon of Crack.

“To whom much is given much is required”:

                                                                             We must NOW utilize all the forces of creation to serve the Creator for better health for ourselves, and the environment.  See you in the struggle.

                                                                                                  Peace & Love.

The stage is set and the audience is seated comfortably in their seats. They are anxiously anticipating the start of the production. The performers are in their places as they explore the scenic environment in which they find themselves and the character they are portraying. You can hear the musical interlude as it fills the space in the speakers and the volume begins to rise indicating the show is about to start. Next, the lights gradually go up to highlight particular areas on the stage where the actors are stationed. Eyes are fixated in the front of the theater, watching every move as the story unfolds. It's the art of theater.

              The theater is the branch of the performing arts concerned with acting out stories in front of a live audience while using a combination of music, dance, speech, gestures, movement, and sound. The performers on stage main focus is to bring the story to life. The essence of creating a memorable stage character is to create vivid images of the people performing. The character must be believable in order to engage the audience and make them feel the joy, pain, and triumph that the actor is conveying. The audience is the critics. A productions' success or failure depends on the audience' approval of the performance. An actor will either sink or swim according to how they convince the audience and how well they are prepared. It can be a fun experience, a learning experience, or a disaster.It's a team effort. 

               A live stage production can be captivating, breathtaking, amusing, or heartfelt depending on how the characters in the scenes reach out and touch the audience physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Performing on stage in my opinion, is the most amazing imaginative experience any actor can feel. The audience gives you the energy to perform 110%. They make you want to entertain them, connect with them or give them food for thought.There is nothing like the feeling of a live stage performance. It's love, honor, joy,  and fulfillment. Once you get on stage the magic  begins.
