This Week in America Guests  Weekend February 25,2012

"Married to the Enemy: A Guide to Overcoming the Obstacles to Intimacy When Raised in a Culture that Uses Sexism and Stereotyping to Divide Us".  Got your attention?  That's a new book co-authored by our guest on This Week in America, Dawn Kozarian.  Dawn is a licensed mental health counselor with a private practice specializing in couples work.  She will discuss how teachers inadvertently highlight gender issues, real or perceived, causing our children to separate themselves into female and male groups-and why this could create serious problems in their future adult relationships.


How this Shakespeare Educator is turning inner-city kids into the players.  Nick Newlin since 1996 has been working with inner-city high school kids in the Washington D.C. area in affiliation with the Folger Shakespeare Library.  He has created a series of abridged Shakespeare plays called "The 30 Minute Shakespeare".  Hear how Nick has helped inner-city kids with no acting experience put on award-winning productions of Shakespeare plays.
