  RICKEY SMILEY Date
: 12 September
2008
From : 8:00pm
Location : Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre
Event Description : Rickey Smiley has been working
the comedy circuit for the past twelve years and it has paid off. Establishing himself as a clean comic, his down home southern
humor has made him a favorite in the nation's top comedy venues. From intimate comedy clubs to sold out crowds at Madison
Square Garden, the Universal Amphitheater and the Lincoln Center, Rickey's unique style of humor resonates with his audiences
unlike any other comic on the road today.
Smiley's characters have become his comedic trademark. From Bernice
and her church announcements to Coach McClainy and his lack of motivational skills, Rickey's audiences can't seem
to get enough of him. Rickey is so convincing doing his character impersonations.

Shine Performing and Creative Arts presents a stage play by Paris
Crayton III, writer of Eye Of The Beholder.
LAYING WHERE NO ONE CAN SEE, is the story of 4 best friends who move
into an apartment together. After meeting two guys who live next door, their lives are sent on a roller coaster ride. Tre,
the smooth talking ladies man, convinces the girls that he was made just for them. As they begin to fall for him, friendships
are tested, and lives are changed. Things are done behind closed doors but they eventually come to the light. Secrets are
revealed as the girls struggle with pointing the blame instead of searching themselves.
The play you dont want
