Hello everyone, I hope everything is well. I have had an interesting week with my book signings and the wonderful show at the Avenue Bakery featuring live entertainment with John Wesley.
“I had a great time kicking off the 2016 Jazz at the Avenue Bakery on Pennsylvania Avenue and Baker Street last week,” said John Wesley. “Thank God for all of the beautiful sunshine last Saturday that came out just before the show began at 4 p.m. Kudos to sister Rosa Pryor for a great event and of course the owner, CEO of the Avenue Bakery, James W. Hamlin and Eloy Hamlin, for the great barbeque food.”
“Marriage & Beer, “ is a romantic comedy stage play about three women from three generations. Hosted by on the Road Theater Company, the play takes place on Saturday, May 21, 2016 at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church located at 3050 Liberty Heights Avenue in Baltimore. Curtain is 7 p.m. For more information, call 410-466-1364.
The event was held in the outdoor courtyard of the Avenue Bakery and it was packed with supporters. The camera crew from the University of Maryland filmed and video taped the event for their project, “Rebirth of the Avenue.”
The Avenue Bakery’s new large stage pavilion in the Courtyard Garden was a beautiful setting for all the bands that will perform throughout the spring and summer.
We spotted a few people I knew by name who came to support the event, such as Griot Grandmother Edna Lawrence, Daniel P. Henson, and Donald “Duck” Welling who stopped by for a while before heading over to Caton Castle to see Greg Hatza and his group. I am so sorry I couldn’t make that, but in addition to booking the group at the Avenue Bakery, I was the mistress of ceremony for the event. Other guests included Councilman Carl Stokes; muralist and installation artist, Stuart Hudgins; and Upton Neighborhoods Executive Director Wanda Gibson Best. It was a very nice event.
