MIAMI — The stage play No Shells, featuring a special guest appearance by Family Matters actress JoMarie Payton, is coming to the Joseph Caleb Auditorium on Dec. 3, at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the theater box office and ticketmasters.com.
It is the opening of a 20-city tour for No Shells, written and directed by Jackie Boatwright, who encourages women to find their inner strength for building and leaving legacies. Boatwright is a child advocate from Atlanta, GA. who has written several books, notably Juan’s Story, which depicts the tragedy of her then 14-month-old son who was found head-first and motionless in an unattended bucket of mop water at his childcare center. It further chronicles her fight to change daycare laws around the country.
No Shells allows her writing skills and directing experience to shine, as she covers topics that are sure to make women think — The Cougar; Stella has her groove back; Miss Educated and Lonely; Miss Rules around the Rules; Miss Too Saved; Miss Married Yet Single; and Miss Light-skinned and Long Hair.

A Must See Production:
The play called No Shells paints a succinct picture of false reprensentations that people hold in society. These false shells, as depicted in the play, allows an individual to see herself and desire an expedient change in order to become a person with substance. No Shells, a five star composition of tasty content packed with food for thought, laughter in every scene, words to make you cry, and an emotional appeal to compel one to make the world a better place to dwell for others!

Miami, FL Reviews Joesph Caleb Auditorium
My aunt, uncle and sister were extremely happy that they attended the play. In fact, my aunt said this was the best play that she has attended in a long time and she goes to lots of plays around Miami and Broward. We plan to attend again when the play returns to Miami . I will encourage even more people to attend now that I can tell them my experience with this excellent work of art. ~ Oscie 12/5/11

One of the factors that made this play so powerful is that the subject matter being authentic and 100% real. I would say every woman could relate to one or more of the characters and it provided a mirror for us to look into our souls. ~Deborah 12/5/11
