GOKASH PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS “MAN, I SHOULDA PUT A RING ON IT!!!”… A NEW STAGE COMEDY WHICH TACKLES A VERY NON-COMEDIC SUBJECT – DOMESTIC ABUSE!

The hilarious “Man, I Shoulda Put a Ring On It!” is sure to entertain audiences as well as take a realistic and sobering look at domestic abuse and bring awareness and empowerment towards combating it. “Man, I Shoulda Put a Ring on It!” will premier at the spacious and luxurious Grand Opera House in Downtown Wilmington on 5/30/09 at 7:00 PM. The address of the theatre is 818 N. Market St. Wilmington, DE 19810. Tickets and cast information are available at www.gokashproductions.com.

“Man, I Shoulda Put a Ring On It!” is the latest in a succession of social awareness stage productions by Kash Goins. In his most recent work “VI Degrees” he tackled the subject of AIDS / HIV and its prevalence and exposure in the African American community. The play was a powerful call to action and motivated audience members to seek additional resources for testing and treatment of the disease. “VI Degrees” will be presented again as part of the Downtown Urban Theatre Festival in New York City also in May ’09. 

Previously, Mr. Goins was a member of Sharon Baptist Church and led the Drama Ministry for seven years. During that time, he wrote “The Pastor and His Sign” which confronted the current epidemic of youth gun violence in Philadelphia and the “stop snitching” culture. “The Pastor and His Sign” gained vast acclaim in television and print news media and was presented to Philadelphia City Council via the efforts of Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell. In attendance were mayor John Street, Council President Anna Verna, and Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson.
