Check out this past weekend's edition of UPFRONT Inside Atlanta's Entertainment Industry. It features my one-on-one interview with child actor Jaylin Hall plus Lee Osorio from Out of Hand Theatre. The show also features my exclusive conversation with dance choreographer Dwight Rowden and Spelman's Dr. Kevin Johnson as they discuss participating in the Atlanta Ballet's new production---Heart/Beat: Gospel, Brubeck and Rhythms of the City
