Interview with actress, writer, director Lynne Walker

What’s up with all of this violence, child abuse, crime sprees, and communities being destroyed by our unwillingness to take responsibility for our actions? The powers to be have tried a myriad of programs to help offset these issues concerning our community and nothing seems to be work. The crime rates in our neighborhoods continue to increase, and no one has taken an “outside of the box” approach to help people address these issues in ways that are different from what we’ve done to date. Over the last several years Lynne Walker, an aspiring actress, writer and director, has looked at the social ills plaguing our community and has written a stage play that will address those issues and provide an audience with some visuals that may help people connect and develop solutions to the aforementioned problems. Lynne uses the performing arts as a way to challenge people to think about DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT in their respective communities and not continue to lay back and wait for others to fix things we can fix ourselves. On this date The Hot Flashes, not a menopause thang Show will break from the norm and feature Ms. Lynne Walker as a guest. She will talk about her stage play and the implications of the social significance the play has on the community. It is our hope that the scenes depicted in her play will create awareness in our communities and force people to take a stand on making a change.
