The play “As One” is a winning coming-of-age story that is about a transgendered person
“The world clearly needs a readily accessible transgender opera with a warm heart” – LA Times
The specific aspect of sexuality is, surprisingly, almost incidental. No one grows up easily. Every first date is a trial. We all have issues with family. The point of “As One” is that we all are one. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/la-et-cm-long-beac...

Here's a win-win betting opportunity. For Super Bowl Sunday, February 5 make a bet with someone or only with your self. If the Atlanta Falcons win paint your nails Falcon red.

And if they do say something you can say you lost a bet.
