Project Limelight
The mission of Project Limelight is to create an environment that will allow youth to develop a strong sense of self and to unleash their imagination. The program provides a nurturing community that supports their development through participation in the performing arts.
Project Limelight gives young people a sense of confidence, self-assurance and creative freedom that will be carried forward outside of the initiative and into their school and home life.
Help provide a high quality no-cost performing arts education as well as nutritious meals to inner city kids! Click on the logo below to contribute.

THE NEW READING SERIES: MR. MUGS – TAKE A PEEK!
The third monthly reading series continues in Mr. Mugs – Take A Peek! by Martha Kambeitz, Denise Burns and Josephine Proctor. It is almost identical to the volume Mr. Mugs – Peek In Please! except for 11 pages which served as non-religious substitutes for the bible stories.
Louis credits the Mr. Mugs books series with helping him to learn English at a very young age. The Mr. Mugs books have been out of print for many years but occasionally you can find them on eBay, Amazon Marketplace or various other antique book dealers.
You can listen to the book readings under the Reading Series Tab.
This month’s section is Chapter 6 of Mr. Mugs – Take A Peek.

Rob Munic
Here is a podcast from Stitcher from about two years ago featuring Rob Munic (“Munic” to all who know him) is a writer and producer.
Besides being a huge success story (and very much a self-made one at that), Munic is the proud husband and dad in a multiracial family. He is married to actress Ingrid Rogers, and he speaks lovingly and proudly of the diversity, talent, and strength of his family.
Listen to the story of how he made it in Hollywood, about his youth in Chicago, and about how he’s all about positivity and celebrating the richness, diversity and authenticity of the human experience.
