The Dr.Vibe Show: Michael Charles Talks About The Play "Church Girl" Which Is Being Performed On August 12, 2011 And August 13, 2011 In Toronto

1

Church Girl tells the true story of Emily Franklin, the seemingly wholesome daughter of a prominent pastor, who is seduced by the charms of a worldly life. Emily is hiding a very shocking secret and like all things evil, it is festering. Emily has been working diligently to cover up the dark choices she has made, but when her secret is exposed, events take a dramatic turn and skeletons coming crashing out of her closet. Everyone wants to know what could push a quintessential church girl to turn her back on everything good she has been taught.

National playwright and producer, Angela Barrow-Dunlap, is no stranger to the theatre world. As the creator of such hit stage plays as If These Hips Could Talk, My Brother Marvin as well as one of the highest grossing urban stage plays of all time, Why Good Girls Like Bad Boyz, fans of her work have come to appreciate her storytelling methodology. “This is much more than just another production to me,” says Barrow-Dunlap. “There is power and purpose in this piece, mainly because it was born out of the true story of someone very dear and close to me. But also because it will touch the hearts of so many hurting women. Women around the country are responding to the message of Church Girl because it resonates so powerfully within them…it’s their story. Most every woman has at some point in her life given in to temptation, and as a result felt trapped. Church Girl simply says that you can choose to be free.”

Angela Barrow-Dunlap’s new musical, Church Girl, brings together some of the film, television and music world’s hottest stars on one stage for one unforgettable production. Leading the cadre of characters is one of Hollywood’s most sought after actresses, Robin Givens, R&B soul-singer/songwriter A’ngela Winbush; actress Demetria McKinney from the NAACP Image Award-winning television series House of Payne; actor Clifton Powell from the Friday movies, Ray and Norbit; and Tony Grant from Tyler Perry’s The Marriage Counsellor. The show also features play circuit powerhouses and theatre veterans Wanda Nero-Butler, Gia Wyre and Teisha Lott.

Michael Charles is the production coordinator and director of the play “Church Girl” which is being performed in Toronto on August 12 and August 13. Michael has been involved in producing events for over 15 years.

He shares with us a variety of things including how did he get involved in producing events, how has the entertainment marketplace has changed and how and when started getting involved with the production of plays, why he became an entrepreneur and how has that journey been.

He talks about Church Girl, the writer of Church Girl, Angela Barrow-Dunlap, the cast including Robin Givens, Angela Winbush, Demetria McKinney and Clifton Powell.

Church Girl is being performed on Friday, August 12 (8:00 p.m.) and Saturday, August 13 (3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.) at the Sony Centre For The Performing Arts, 1 Front Street East in Toronto.

Chef La-toya is Canadian born of Jamaican parents and loves her Jamaican heritage. She has a love of Northern Italian, Mediterranean and West Indians cuisine.

After leaving George Brown College before she was supposed to graduate, she acquired a position as Assistant and Coordinator for the Loblaws cooking schools for six years where she helped open 14 schools. She left that position in September 2009 and has had her own company, Twist Catering, ever since.

During our chat, Chef La-toya shares about various subjects including her respect and love of Black people, the difference between a chef and a cook, how failure is part of her everyday life, if the Black community supports her, her pet peeves when it comes to cooking, her thoughts on The Food Network, her work with young offenders, why May 27, 2011 is a special day for her, how she wants everyone to eat one day in Africa and the future of Twist Catering.
