Don't miss the new uplifting stage play Only Just a Minute! This wonderful production juxtaposes the lives of Morehouse's sixth president, Benjamin E. Mays, and his protege, Martin Luther King Jr. '48 at the crossroads of American history, as it examines the important events that helped shaped America and the promise of things to come.  Willie Carpenter of Lifetime TV’s Devious Maids performs the title role of Benjamin E. Mays in this must see play.

Only Just a Minute opens in Atlanta on August 20, 2014 for a four day run at the Ray Charles Performing Arts Center at Morehouse College located at 900 West End Avenue, Atlanta, GA.

Performances run through August 23 , 8 p.m. nightly and a Saturday matinee at 3 p.m. The production then moves to the Southwest Arts Center at 915 New Hope Road in Atlanta, where it runs from August 27 through September 7, with performances Wednesday through Sunday at 8 p.m. and a 3 p.m. matinee on Sunday.

The play is produced by Morehouse graduate Bob Dockery, ’66, who graduated the year before Mays retired as Morehouse president. Beautifully written by Aaron Henne including text and characters by Levy Lee Simon and directed by Atlanta’s own Tom Jones.

Working Moms: 6 Tips for Success

1. Absolve yourself of “mommy guilt.” You are doing the best that you can.
2. Remember that a desire for a career does not make you a bad mother, nor does a desire for work/life balance make you a bad employee.
3. Be proactive and creative. Many supervisors are open to considering creative solutions when they are presented, but will not be so conscious as to offer them unasked.
4. If you have a partner, ask that partner for help and unconditional love and support.
5. Find a community of mothers who also work outside the home. So much mom support is based on the stay-at-home crowd, and while some of our issues are the same, some are very different.
6. Remember that raising children only comes once in a lifetime.
