My girlfriend, Shannon, and I are apart of a group called the Urban Theatre Arts Club (UTAC)‏. Shannon has been a part of the group early on but I just joined recently.

The Clean Up Woman is the hilarious new hit stage play sweeping the country written and directed by JD Lawrence. The play follows the life of Terri Adams, a journalist who pushes aside her newlywed domestic apron for a six figure Anchor Job with WNY5. But when Terri starts neglecting home for her new position, her supportive husband comes to his wits end and demands she clean up her act, starting with the house. To keep the peace, her man and her job, Terri hires a local cleaning service recommended by a co-worker. But if not careful, she just might find "The Clean Up Woman" picking up more than she's supposed to. JD Lawrence plays seven characters in the play (including a Hindu cab-driver, a 75 year old white man, a rapper, and a stylist). It also stars Emmy award winner Jackée Harry, Telma Hopkins and singer/actor Christopher Williams. The play has broken box office records around the country including the title of the highest grossing stage play since 1977 at the renowned Arts and Letters in Dallas.
