First up: Two free workshops at Kings Road Park, 1000 N. Kings Rd., West Hollywood, CA 90069. 11:00 a.m.- 1 p.m.: Juliette Jeffers conducts a workshop called Release and Let Go. Have
you ever wanted to tell your own story but didn't know where to start? Well, here is your
opportunity to release your story and let go of the fear! In this introductory workshop,
Juliette will guide you through writing and acting exercises to jumpstart you on your own solo
show journey.
1:30- 3:30 p.m.: Terrie Silverman conducts a workshop entitled State of the Heart and Country: A Workshop to Access Your Brave Voice.

4:30 p.m.: Missy Hairston in Awkwardly Fabulous- A little girl’s journey to womanhood and the people, places and situations that begin to uproot her confidence in herself and plant seeds of doubt about her body, love life, and life in general.
5:30 p.m.: Alina Cenal in Stories from a Cuban Father- Alina’s strong presence of her father guides through a world of mambo, revolution, Fidel, hot dogs, Miami, the circus and Hollywood, as she is yanked from her native Cuba as a child to explore a new life that challenges her roots.
6:45 p.m.: Misty Monroe in Unapologetically Black- This woman moves through stages of “Nigrescence” having been raised in suburban Northern California and spending summers in South Central L.A.
