Hieroglyphics on the walls of Egypt was once believed to be some secret magical wisdom understood and used only by Egyptian priests. This belief remained until scholars discovered the symbols described sounds; the pictures indicated words or syllables and it became a language to convey ideas. Egyptians continued use of the ideographic and syllabic systems, even after alphabets were discovered. Likewise, when Barack Hussein Obama, II was first heard, many pondered the representation of such a nam …

There are many cultures, languages, people groups, and customs, but often people remain in their distinct corners. My desire is to connect with and develop meaningful relationship with people from all corners of the world by hosting events in different places through out the RDU.

Those who RSVP after the casting deadline may attend the meeting, but will be admitted on a standby basis: as space permits, and as availability of role …

Through the use of Social Media, Digital Distribution, Self Production, Publishing and Promotion, NCIAC is leading the change from the traditional "Top Down" method of generating revenue for Artists to a more equitable "Bottom Up" approach. Corporations are fighting the change, because it puts the "Control" (read:- money) where it belongs "in the hands of independent artists". Throughout the world, independent artists are realizing that we no longer need to depend on the old paradigms to be succ …

This is a group that needs talented writers, performers, artists and designers in order to collaborate as a group to create an original play and eventually have it performed on stage. It will take passion and a love of creating something unique in order to be a member of this group. It is certainly something we can pull off, as long as the group works together. To write, produce, perform and premiere an original play is not something many people can ever say they had a chance to do, and I believ …
