Don’t forget to join me this morning at 9 a.m. for another exciting edition of "UPFRONT" Inside Atlanta's Entertainment Industry. 

This week I'll be talking to playwright Jiréh Breon Holder about his Alliance Theatre production, Too Heavy for your Pocket. The play is currently running through February 26 on the Hertz Stage and follows a 1960s youth who gives up his college scholarship to become a Civil Rights Freedom Rider.
