From bestselling author and playwright Laurinda D. Brown, “˜Sometimes it Snows in Atlanta’ comes to Washington, DC, in October.

‘Sometimes it Snows in Atlanta’ is the fourth theatrical production from playwright Laurinda D. Brown, addressing mental health issues in both the African-American and LGBT community.

Still subject to stigmatization, mental health issues can be intensified within these communities where suffering multiple stigmas is common. Stigmas inclusive of race, gender and socioeconomic pressures find standard coupling with the stigma of homosexuality, especially in the African-American community.

The play confronts the taboos amongst three couples living in Atlanta, gay, lesbian and transgender, as they partake in therapy sessions that address depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anxiety disorder.

Positive Scribe Productions, Inc. is bringing ‘Sometimes it Snows in Atlanta’ to Washington, DC, on Sunday, October 5, 2014, at 3 pm at The Anacostia Playhouse, 2020 Shannon Pl, SE. Due to the subject matter, audiences must be 18 or older to enter.

Advance tickets are now on sale at www.eventbrite.com. Ticket prices are $30 in advance or $40 at the door. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Coalition of Activist Students Celebrating the Acceptance of Diversity and Equality, CASCADE, Howard University’s organization of bisexual, lesbian, allied, and gay students.
