Northern Stage announces the successful launch of Boot Camp, a program designed to nurture young theater artists by providing in-depth training and mentorship for high school juniors, seniors, and recent graduates who want to pursue a career in the arts. With support from the Pussycat Foundation and created to honor the philanthropic and creative spirits of Helen Gurley Brown and David Brown, Boot Camp serves young artists who lack the resources to pursue professional-level arts training. Admission to colleges, BFA theater programs, and performing arts conservatories are highly competitive, and Boot Camp seeks to level the playing field by preparing students to compete at the highest level for continued arts and performance studies.

Chi Davis' new book, By His Grace ($14.99, paperback, 9781498493239, $7.99, eBook, 9781498493246) tells the story of a daughter of an American Soldier, who fled to America as a Vietnamese refugee. Chi Davis shares her story of how her relationship with the Lord was made stronger by each of the trials she endured throughout her life. She recounts how the terrors and hardships of war, abandonment, physical and psychological abuse, fear, depression and other personal struggles were part of God's plan to bring her to a personal relationship with Him. Each seemingly devastating life event is shown to glorify the Lord and demonstrates that He is the one in control. Beginnings, separations, brokenness, grace: each tell a story of struggles and redemption where the author recounts how the Spirit was using each tribulation to draw her to Salvation.

For author Angela Davis, the road of life has been all at once entertaining and exhilarating, and sometimes, a failure. But throughout her adversities, God speaks to her - if I listen, all is well; if I am deaf or ignorant or blind to the truth, all seems to go to hell. In Life's Funny Ways, Davis candidly weaves a collection of introspective and illuminating poetry for the reader seeking grace, perspective and inspiration.
