FIRST ON 3: Chris Rock’s mom coming to Brunswick County

Shallotte, NC (NEWS RELEASE) — Not every day in a small rural area does an author of a top selling book, sought after speaker, radio talk show owner, and mom of a movie star visit or even passes through. However, that is about to change. On June 25, 2011, Rose Rock mother of movie/TV star and comedian Chris Rock will be in Shallotte. The author of “Mama Rock Rules”, Ms. Rock is scheduled to speak from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm in the Little Theater at West Brunswick High School.

Ms. Rock has been retained by Kids & Teens Only Development Workshops to conduct the 1.5 hour information seminar on breaking into show business. The purpose of the work shop is to teach persons interested in acting or doing comedy professionally, what they need and must do to get started on the right path. Attendees will hear topics about: preparation and training, agent selection, getting casted, marketing your talent, markets that cater to your talent, plus, much more. Also, during and after the seminar, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions.

Not only are kids and teens encouraged to attend the event, but their parents as well. Parents can learn what their child should do if he or she has a sincere interest in pursuing a career in show business. Another benefit for parents is learning how to recognize and aid in the development of their child talent or gift for acting or comedy. As mother of the famed Chris Rock, Mama Rock certainly has firsthand knowledge when it comes to realizing, raising, nourishing, and guiding a talented child. Ms. Rock recognized Chris potential and abilities at an early age.

David Pickett of Shallotte, founder of Kids & Teens Development Workshops, is producing and coordinating the event. For further information or to register, call 910-880-2759 or e-mail KidsandTeensDevelopmentWorkshops@yahoo.com. To offset the costs associated with organizing the event, a $5.00 registration fee is required. Limited seats are available on a first come first serve basis. No one not registered prior to the seminar will be admitted.
