What Do You Do.....When Love Is Not Enough

I GOT THE SCOOP STRAIGHT FROM THE DIRECTOR
I agree with the Director, Chyna Robinson Playwright. The title of this play is exactly how it sounds. I speaking with her for over a month about this fresh new view of the way young people like myself or I should say my peers at my school can sometime get caught up on someone that they think is the right one for them. Among other things. Well, I'll let you see it from the directors perspective. Click The Title To View!!!!

Robinson tells it thoroughly on kidsntheknowonline.com when she says this:


Three young women go through a roller coaster of emotions to answer the question, "What do you do...When Love Is Not Enough?" It's a progressive play...we don't hide from what's real and we face (head-on) the issues that our young ladies are going through. I wanted to delve into high school life and college life and EVERYTHING that comes with it. We uncover the TRUTH about love, sex, and dating. 


Many have been (pleasantly) shocked at the way we handle such taboo subjects. We put it all on the table. That's why we suggest our audience members be at least 13 or that they come with a guardian. This play will certainly provoke discussion, which was my goal. So...what DO you do "When Love Is Not Enough?" 

I wrote this play with the hopes of reaching out to the younger audiences. We have performed at one high school and three colleges thus far, as well as several theaters across Texas and Oklahoma. But make no mistake, it is not your typical high school production. We have a full set and professional actors that have worked with greats such as Spike Lee, Fred Hammond, and the list goes on. 


I wrote this play with the hopes of reaching out to the younger audiences. It's a progressive play...we don't hide from what's real and we face (head-on) the issues that our young ladies are going through. I wanted to delve into high school life and college life and EVERYTHING that comes with it: new realtionships, sex vs love, domestic abuse in younger relationships, STDs adn AIDS, and ultimately everyday choices and consequences. We put it all on the table. 

This play will certainly provoke discussion, which was my goal. Many young ladies go through so many pressures and have to make decisions that can change their lives, every day of their lives. We want to give them alternatives to some of the decisions that are being made. 
Although these issues are very serious, we have comedic characters that balance that out. It is simply GREAT entertainment. You may be laughing uncontrollably one moment and gripping the edges of your seats the next. It's a very real life play. 

All of my actors, with the exception of two, are professionally trained and have acted in projects ranging from national commercials to independent films to the "big screen." One of my actors was just signed on with NERF as a national ad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKx8C-C6SF4).


 We've just added Christin White (from cycle 15 of America's Next Top Model) to the cast. Upon speaking to her, I saw that she was very real and she has her own great story that could only add to the chemistry and overall character of the cast. 


One of my stand out artists is Tammy Thomas, who is a phenomenal actress that has been featured on stages in, both, New York and Texas. 


Another is Timothy Paul Brown. He has a natural talent that his degreed training just highlights.


 Kristina with a K is an actress in the show, as well as, an artist with a message. Her latest single, "Fendi," is one that EVERY female should hear. I could go on about the cast but everyone could just come out to the show and check them out themselves.


She also explained to me that the adventure the play is on and where it's gonna go:

I am putting together a HBCU tour for the Fall of this year. We'll begin in mid-August for three weeks. You never know where you'll see "When Love Is Not Enough" in the near future (undisclosed information). I know, however, you will not see it on Broadway. The productions I do, for now anyway, are music-less. I do frequent broadway shows and other musicals though.

 "When Love Is Not Enough" comes alive on stage! Fort Worth's Will Rogers Auditorium - March 26th at pm.
