King's "Real Life" received a reading at The Space, on Vendeventer. A national producer attending gave it a thumbs up at the end of the show and will be taking it all the way.

It was like being present at one of those reality shows, and very exciting as we enjoyed the show and then awaited the producer's verdict. Having him announce the thumbs up, live to a live audience was like being at a moment in history.

Fannie Belle Lebby has merged her active performing career with activist work such as Jobs for Justice. Miss Freida Wheaton's Salon 53 sponsored the evening's performance. Freida's own poems added mightily to the evening.
