GOING IN, SPEAKING OUT

Los Angeles Times - November 29, 2007

This Saturday is World AIDS Day and as a tribute, theater artist-activist Michael Kearns is premiering his spoken memoir "Going In: Once Upon a Time in South Africa," chronicling a month he spent in Johannesburg with his daughter, Tia (pictured), working at an orphanage, assistant-teaching high school and learning about the country's AIDS crisis. "I developed an intense bond with the teacher I worked with -- a black woman who had survived in spite of crippling circumstances," Kearns says about his experience. 8:30 p.m. Sat., Highways Performance Space, Santa Monica. $20 general, $15 for members, students and seniors. (310) 315-1459; www.highwaysperformance.org
