WHAT:
James and Joseph - a drama - written by Jaimyon Parker. Directed by Malika Perkins.
Amencipation Productions, L.L.C. , Imaginative Reality Productions and And...Action Productions have teamed up to raise awareness and much needed aid for those organizations that work to treat and prevent drug abuse. They have also partnered up with the California non-profit organization, Each One Teach One. E1T1 has designed a carefully laid foundation for success by integrating an Emergency Food Program with Nutrition Education classes and informational literature. This partnership allows us to make all donations tax deductible.
"James and Joseph" centers on the life of Joseph, the pastor of a local church, who is dealing with community expectations and drug abuse in his family. Pastor Joseph is waging a war against the drug addiction that grips his brother James and stems all the way back to his childhood. A war that he is loosing quickly. All while trying to stay atop the Christian role model pedestal that the community has placed him on and court the object of his affection, the beautiful Patti. In the end, despite walking this precarious tightrope, he will discover startling revelations about himself and the "family" he has fought so hard to protect. Forcing him to make a choice that will forever change his life.
Patrons will also be given a free drug prevention kit entitled "The Truth About Drugs". These kits were donated by "Our Commitment, Inc.'s Project Square One".
