‘The Book of Will’ offers a different take on Shakespeare
he Little Theatre of Winston-Salem will hold auditions for its upcoming production of Lauren Mark Burger Gunderson’s award-winning period drama Contributor “The Book of Will” from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 19, at 4015 Brownsboro Road, Winston-Salem. No appointment is necessary, and there are roles available for 10-15 actors of all genders and ethnicities. Cross-gender casting is encouraged, and numerous roles may be doubled. For additional character descriptions and details, visit https:// www.ltofws.org/auditions. The play, set in Elizabethan London shortly after the death of the esteemed playwright William Shakespeare, follows the efforts of actors Henry Condell and John Heminges to preserve the works written by their friend and mentor to pay tribute to him and properly ensure his legacy. “The Book of Will” is a true story, with a few dramatic embellishments, and earned playwright Gunderson the Harold and Mimi Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award in 2018. Auditions will consist of reading from sides, and attendees are asked to bring a calendar and list any potential conflicts for the rehearsal and performance period. The first read-through is tentatively scheduled for the week of Jan. 25. The rehearsals are generally held Tuesday through Thursday evenings from 7 to 10 p.m. and one weekend afternoon (Saturday or Sunday) from 1 to 4 p.m., subject to change based on cast availability and/ or creative needs. “The Book of Will” will be presented March 20-22 and March 26-29 at the Hanesbrands Theatre, 209 N. Spruce WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM
St., Winston-Salem. Single tickets will be available for purchase beginning Feb. 26. The two-act play runs approximately two hours with one intermission. At the helm is director Lara Ianni, an admitted devotee of Shakespeare. “I could talk about the power of Shakespeare for days if you let me,” she said. “William Shakespeare, to me, was not simply a genius of words — and he was most certainly a genius of words — but a genius of the human experience. He was able to capture so many universal experiences — love, grief, joy, loss, fear, jealousy — with such specificity and nuance. These are as core to our being today as they were 400 years ago, which is why I think we’re still doing these plays centuries after they were written. “At the same time, Shakespeare the man is a bit of a mystery,” she observed. “There is very little we know concretely about his life, so in a way it feels like he knows us so intimately and we don’t know him at all. I think that’s at least part of the reason that historical fiction about him — be it ‘The Book of Will,’ ‘Hamnet,’ and ‘Shakespeare in Love’ — is so popular. We’re trying to reach back through the centuries and touch this elusive person who has meant so much to so many of us.” As a “Bard buff,” Ianni was already aware of “The Book of Will” before the
opportunity to direct the play came her way. “I had read and loved the play,” she said. “I’m a huge Shakespeare nerd and huge history nerd, so this piece really ‘checks all my boxes.’ Beyond that, I’ve found that the story of how the first folio was created isn’t particularly wellknown, even among Shakespeare fans. However, I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say it’s one of the most significant events in the history of English literature. If Shakespeare’s friends had not come together after his death to take on this project, it’s likely at least half, if not more, of the plays we have today would have been lost to time. It’s unthinkably bleak to me to imagine a world with no ‘Romeo & Juliet,’ no ‘Hamlet,’ no ‘Much Ado About Nothing’
… the list goes on. That’s the story ‘The Book of Will’ tells. “Ultimately, ‘The Book of Will’ is about the enduring power of friendship and how telling stories in community with one another makes us human and has the power to bring us together and heal us. We, much like William Shakespeare, are living in very divided times, so it’s my hope that our audiences will experience the power of community in live theater and carry it out into the world with them.” For more information, call 336724-4001 or visit the Little Theatre of Winston-Salem’s official website: https://www.ltofws.org/. !

‘Is This Thing On?’ is on target
[WEEKLY ARTS ROUNDUP] KINETIC APPLICATIONS OPEN AT CENTER FOR CREATIVE ECONOMY
SUBMITTED BY EMILY WOLF Head of Marketing and Community Relations, Center for Creative Economy Many creative entrepreneurs start the same way: an idea on the side, a hobby, a passion project, a skill you love using but are not sure how to turn into something sustainable. For creatives in those early stages, the biggest challenge is often not creativity but clarity. That is where Kinetic, the six-week business bootcamp from the Center for Creative Economy, comes in. Kinetic was intentionally designed for creatives who are early in their journey. You do not need a fully formed business plan or consistent revenue to apply. In fact, many participants come in with side projects, test ideas, or questions about whether their concept should remain a hobby or grow into a business. Kinetic provides the structure and support to help answer those questions with confidence. Throughout the program, participants work through hands-on workshops focused on validating ideas, identifying real customer needs, clarifying value propositions, and understanding the basics of building a business that aligns with their goals. Rather than focusing on theory alone, Kinetic emphasizes real-world application; creatives actively test assumptions, gather feedback, and refine their ideas as they go. One of the greatest strengths of Kinetic is the cohort experience. Participants move through the program together, surrounded by other creatives who are also navigating uncertainty, experimentation, and growth. That shared experience creates accountability, momentum, and a sense of belonging that can be difficult to find when working alone. Many alumni say, “Despite the fear and the
4 YES! WEEKLY
JANUARY 14-20, 2026
nervousness, we felt like we had the support to be able to keep moving forward. And not just moving forward, but thriving forward.” Mentorship is another core component of the program. Kinetic participants gain access to experienced business professionals who provide guidance, perspective, and encouragement throughout the six weeks. These mentors help creatives think critically about their ideas, avoid common early-stage pitfalls, and make informed decisions about next steps. For many participants, mentorship is what transforms an idea from something abstract into something actionable. Applications for the upcoming Kinetic cohort are now in their final days. Due to strong interest, the Center for Creative Economy has extended the application deadline to Jan. 20, giving creatives one last opportunity to apply. This extension is meant to ensure that anyone with an early-stage idea, side project, or creative hobby has time to take that next step. If you are a creative who has been wondering what comes next, Kinetic offers the tools, mentorship, and community to help you find out. Applications are closing soon, so learn more at ccetriad. com/kinetic. !

he fact-based comedy “Is This Thing On?” marks Actor/ Producer Bradley Cooper’s third feature as a director and proves — again — that he’s a force to be reckoned with. He gives his actors ample opportunity to maneuver and create well-rounded characters in a credible context. Will Arnett, doubling as co-story and screenwriter/producer, plays Alex Novak, a middle-aged man at a crossroads in his life. He and wife Tess (Laura Dern) have made the decision to split after 20 years, although their separation is an amicable, even friendly one. After a dinner party and a marijuana cookie shared with Tess, he decides to have a drink while walking home alone on the streets of New York City. He then strolls into the Comedy Cellar and, not wanting to pay the cover charge, impetuously signs up for the bar’s open-mic stand-up night, simply because the drinks are free. It’s a decision that will be life-changing, to say the least. Alex has no act, a shaky stage presence, and shows little aptitude for stand-up comedy, but when he relates the circumstances surrounding the end of his marriage, the crowd is polite and encouraging, although hardly effusive. Nevertheless, something has clicked for Alex. He enjoys the companionship of the other comedians, even though they tell him point-blank he’s not very funny. But the experience is so therapeutic, he soon becomes a regular and even amasses a small following, although he doesn’t tell his friends or family about his new “vocation.” In well-worn comedy fashion, it’s only a matter of time before his secret comes out, and here it’s in a smashing sequence wherein Tess and an old friend — played by Peyton Manning, no less — chance upon the bar and decide to have a drink … at precisely the moment he’s taking the stage. Until now, Arnett has essentially been the whole show, but here is when Dern comes into her own. Her reaction to Alex discussing their marriage is priceless, but it also gives her new insight into
the man she’s been married to for two decades. At this critical juncture, “Is This Thing On?” doesn’t necessarily enter darker territory, but it does delve deeper into the characters of Alex and Tess. Much like Cooper’s earlier directorial efforts, “A Star is Born” (2018) and “Maestro” (2023), it’s the relationship between the principals that stands out and becomes the focal point, with both Arnett and Dern delivering immensely appealing performances. Cooper (also a co-screenwriter) certainly could have played Alex himself, but by not doing so, he allows Arnett to shine in what is easily the best role — and best performance — of his big-screen career. Cooper plays Alex’s best friend Balls (you read that right), an eccentric actor whose wife Christine (a fine Andra Day) has long held a grudge against Alex, for reasons she divulges in another well-played scene. There’s also nice work from Ciaran Hinds and Christine Ebersole as Alex’s parents, newcomers Blake Kane and Calvin Knegten as Tess and Alex’s kids, Amy Sedaris as the emcee, stand-up comediennes Chloe Radcliffe and Jordan Jensen (both making their her feature debuts) as fellow comics who take a shine to Alex — even if they don’t think he’s funny. !

Berger Desperate to Retain Power
N
egative political campaigning is nothing new. In the presidential election of 1800, John Adams’ camp warned Jefferson Jim Longworth voters, “Are you prepared to see your dwellings in flames, Longworth female chastity at Large violated, and children writhing on the pike?” And in 1828, Adams’ son John Quincy issued a handbill that said, “General [Andrew] Jackson’s mother was a common prostitute.” Believe it or not, I wasn’t around for those dirty campaigns, but I do remember the controversy surrounding LBJ’s 1964 network TV ad that implied a vote for Goldwater would result in nuclear war with Russia and the end of civilization. And while presidential elections seem to bring out the worst in some candidates, mudslinging also occurs in down-ballot contests. In fact, the stakes are frequently much higher in local races. That’s because state legislators are the folks who draw and redraw district maps, which often pre-determine outcomes and help incumbents remain in office, and that brings me to Republican Sen.

Interestingly, the charges against Page were advanced by none other than Rockingham County Commissioner Kevin Berger, son of the incumbent senator. That may not represent a direct conflict of interest, but it sure as hell represents nepotism at its sleaziest. The younger Berger defended his

The Pyrle: Downtown Venue gets New Life
“
The guiding light for this project has been a best-in-class experience for patrons and artists,” said Dominick Amendum, general manager of The Pyrle, opening next month in downtown Greensboro. “We just announced our first 23 shows, with a few more in a couple Ian McDowell weeks. What I’m proudest about is the variety of genres. When we set out to do this, we wanted to Contributor have something for everyone, and the official tagline was that great music deserves to be heard.” The 2026 schedule kicks off with singer-songwriter Anders Osborne on Feb. 27, dubstep DJ GorillaT on March 6, and bayou blues master Tab Benoit on March 8. The first month includes country/bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs (March 20), punk rockers The Menzingers (March 21), rapper Rakim (March 26), and folk/bluegrass duo Chatham Rabbits (March 27). Later headliners include jangle/powerpop indy rockers the Connells (April 11) and reggae legends the Wailers (May 23). “There’s all kinds of great music, and who are we to decide what you know or like? We’ve gotten a lot of good positive feedback on the initial roster, which includes country, hip-hop, R&B, folk, EDM [electronic dance music], you name it. It’s a really flexible space, and that’ll change depending on some of the artists. Chatham Rabbits, Ricky Skaggs, Kirk Walham, those are shows that lend themselves better to a seated audience experience. A more energetic show, like Silversun Pickups or GorillaT, those will be more general admission and allow people to dance around.” He’s also hoping to book comedy. “I know there’s
8 YES! WEEKLY
JANUARY 14-20, 2026
smaller clubs in the area that are great and will continue to do their thing, but when it comes to a comic that can sell 500 seats, we now have space for that.” The renovated building at 232 S. Elm St. actually has room for twice that many. “General admission shows will have standing room on the floor, or we can do a fully-seated show. We have barstools and high-tops that can go along the backside, so we can go anywhere from 500-capacity fully-seated, up to around 1000, flexible, for standing.” Whatever the talent, he promises that the artists’ suite will impress them. “It’s like nothing they will experience at any other thousand-capacity venue.” The Pyrle also includes a cocktail bar, VIP and stadium seating options, multiple mezzanines, and a private rental space for large events. On non-show nights, the venue will boast a “music lovers” bar serving craft cocktails and beer six nights a week. “The upstairs wraparound mezzanine is a membersonly spot. We have a membership program which is burgeoning right now, which is pretty exciting. Pre-show nights, members can hang out in that mezzanine space. There are separate restrooms and a bar to keep them happy.” Erected in 1936 as a Montgomery Ward department store, the building housed Triad Stage from 1999 until 2023. Its owners are Durant Bell, Daniel McCoy, Arthur Samet, Will Stewart, and Jeff Yetter, Greensboro natives with backgrounds in real estate, commercial construction, and hospitality. Their manager, Amendum, also has local bona fides, but more importantly, awardnominated international experience in entertainment and music production. After graduating from UNC Greensboro, he moved to New York and almost immediately began working on Broadway, where he served for nearly a decade as associate music supervisor of “Wicked,” which he also
Dominic Amendum, general manager of The Pyrle. conducted and music-directed in New York and on its first national tour. He was the arranger and music supervisor for “Prince of Egypt” on London’s West End and received a Grammy nomination for producing the original cast recording. As part of his continuing collaboration with composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, he was production music supervisor for the film adaptations of “Wicked.” He also collaborated with Dolly Parton and Marvin Hamlisch. “I came back to Greensboro six years ago to found the musical theater program at UNCG, where I remain adjunct artist-in-residence. The Pyrle is a great combination of what I love to do, as I’m that strange musician who’s also an administrator. Not many musicians’ brains work in that way. This was a great opportunity for me.” He’s very much aware that the venue housed one of the most acclaimed and now most-missed regional theaters in the South. Will some of that heritage be honored in future productions there?
WWW.YESWEEKLY.COMW
“I don’t know, but theater is also my life, and I think there’s room. I won’t say exactly which theater company, but I just met with one recently about that. We’re definitely open to it as both landlords and owners of the space. It’s just about how to best activate it. The old Cabaret Theatre room upstairs will be an open event rental space, which presents a lot of interesting opportunities for site-specific theater. The short answer is, I hope so, and time will tell.”
WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM
He promises that, whatever is performed, the presentation will be first-class. “Audio and Light, an awesome local company, has helped us design a system with 28 different speakers hung throughout the performance space. Many music venues have an array of speakers in front of the stage, and just turn them really loud, and you’re kind of assaulted. The goal here is sound that’s really clear, so that what the artist is producing is really precise. You feel it, but it’s not uncomfortably loud.” He’s also proud that The Pyrle has engaged Knitting Factory Presents as exclusive talent buyer. Knitting Factory Presents is a division of the leading national talent group Knitting Factory Entertainment (KFE), which grew out of the legendary eponymous New York nightclub.
“They own and operate clubs, restaurants, bars, and their own record label. So, it’s not just me calling agents and saying, hey, we’re a new club in Greensboro. The Knitting Factory making that same call gets a much more enthusiastic reception.” Community response is crucial to The Pyrle’s future. “Just because we book it doesn’t mean that people will come and see it. We’ll learn a lot about who the community comes out and supports, and lean into what the public is leaning into. But I’m very excited about what this means for us and downtown.” For more info, visit www.thepyrle.com. !

New year, new spaces; same sweet Songbird Supper Club
D
eveloping a routine with rounds of song, Cashavelly has reignited her Songbird Supper Club in new spaces and media, with a full 2026 calendar that kicked off with a showcase at the Camel City Playhouse on Jan. 10 and will be followed by the debut of a Songbird enrichment Katei Cranford discussion series starting Jan. 18. “Songbird is a family,” Cashavelly said. “It’s love. It’s how I love Contributor my community and witness love between us all. I’ve missed it — you! — so much while we’ve been on hiatus, as I’ve tried to figure out how to evolve with the shifting landscape.” For the show, the matriarchal songstress relished shifting back into her emcee duties, proudly welcoming the powerhouse vocalist and songwriter, Stone, to the stage; followed by a duo led by the jazzy, soulful R&B songbird Kay Marion; Grey Jeán’s whimsical folk poetry; and a crochet flow play session (with dessert) by Winston’s craft chef, Jasmine. “Whether she’s leading community art efforts at Art Crush or teaching crochet classes across Winston, Jasmine creates spaces that invite others to slow down and reconnect with their creativity,” Cashavelly said. “Jasmine is using her crochet art to support her rekindled passion for food and her journey into the culinary world.” For Jasmine, the experience is part of her new journey along Julie Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way,” where she swapped her business-oriented background for a more artistic future (and upcoming enrollment in culinary school). After engaging attendees on-stage for a flow-star play session, Jasmine took a torch and glazed a crème brûlée to share with the crowd as the evening’s panel discussion began. All together, the first showcase of 2026 was a night of connection, performances, and discussion, with shared meals and stories, in new stages and formats, rooted in the supper club’s familiar focus. “Songbird Supper Club is a local gathering rooted in one belief: when we feel safe enough to express our truth, the entire community thrives,” said Cashevelly, who first envisioned the club as a “cozy and casual performance series to celebrate women who create and express, or want to start!” Starting as a monthly music series at the West Salem Public House in 2023, Songbird grew to become a “place where support flows easily, where reciprocity feels natural, and where the voices that have been silenced — women, QTBIPOC+, and those of the global WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

Cashavelly Morrison majority — are cherished, centered, and amplified. We gather to rebirth the ‘village’ through listening, supporting, celebrating, and softening our edges. It is where mutual care, shared stories, and our many artistic creations and generative knowledge become the hearth that warms us all.” And after a short break, Cashavelly is ready for Songbird’s return in a whole new age — embarking on a “year of curated events to rebirth the village and enrich our lives,” the 2026 installment of the series began, with the familiar format pairing performances and an emcee’d discussion shared over supper served by local chefs. Burritos from Robert Rust were on hand for the first showcase, with future chefs and performers to be announced for the showcase dates at the Camel City Playhouse (May 16 and Sept. 11). “Many of the events are pay what you can or free,” Cashavelly explained, ”so take full advantage of the generosity of these golden-hearted people. It’s truly a world of love and reciprocity. I ask you to celebrate and amplify LOVE by supporting these opportunities.” “I’m so grateful to the Camel City Playhouse for hosting our performances this year, and to all the leaders and teachers who will be guiding us in how to live more interconnected,” she said. “It’s truly our connections that enrich our lives more than anything else…it’s been studied!” Honing in on educational elements surrounding enrichment and wellness, the Supper Club’s latest iteration will also feature discussions and workshops in various locations, the first of which begins on Jan. 18;
an eight-week installment of online “Sunday Sessions” led by Steve Torma from Asheville’s The Real Center will encompass the realm of compassionate nonviolent communication (NVC). “Songbird is flexible,” Cashavelly explained, “and you’ll see this year is designed to also guide us as a community through guest leaders, the tools to bridge divisions, live more enriched and harmoniously, and learn to tend reciprocity. I’ve spent a lot of time making new connections and trying to curate a year of guest leaders and artists that will be a gift to us all.” Turning to the first lecture topic, “learning NVC changed my life,” she said. “I can’t say enough about how NVC can transform the way we see, live, and communicate to bring more curiosity, understanding, and peace into the world. I have taken his classes, and Steve is the most gentle, wise soul.” Torma will host eight two-hour sessions, from 6 to 8 p.m. on Sundays from Jan. 18 to March 8. Future learning series will range from “Sustainable Activism,” led by Jason Crazy Bear Keck (on April 1); “Basketweaving & Community Shadow Work,” with Frea Wild (May 2); “Survival 101 — Becoming Human Again,” with naturalist Luke McLaughlin (June 13); Cultural Competency and AntiRacism with Ashani Mfuko; “Deepening Relationships” with couples therapist Ryan MacLeod (Oct. 8); and a “Women’s Circle” led by Sacred Activist and Yoruba Priest, Gogo Sangoma (Nov. 7). Coming full circle in her own right, Cashavelly’s “Soulbirthing” workshop series will return for a fourth year. “Soulbirthing is a lab for women to experiment with our innate power, authenticity, and creative expression,” she explained. Broken into a series of four workshops to “align with the seasons as a springboard for awakening, integrating, and expressing our many facets of Self.” We practice clearing the blocks within us to become an open channel so that all we imagine can be birthed into the world.” And reflecting on that world. “All are welcome to join this growing circle,” Cashavelly said. “Songbird has new shapes and will take place in new places. Please come with me on this new Songbird adventure. I’m grateful for your support and love. Come build community with us!” !

Triad massage ordinances remain unenforced
I

Contributor
n May 2024, Greensboro Police Chief John Thompson stated his department was working with city officials on an ordinance requiring massage parlors to be licensed by the city as well as the state. A year and a half later, no such ordinance has been presented to city
council. In January 2025, the Winston-Salem City Council passed an ordinance requiring massage parlors to apply for permits from the city, submit to a background check, list all employees, and list other massage businesses owned or operated by the applicant. A year later, no massage parlors have registered with or received permits from the city, and no action has been taken against unlicensed ones. Although the North Carolina Board of Massage and Bodywork Therapy requires all massage providers to be licensed by the state, the lack of such licenses has not been used by any municipality to fine or shut down illicit businesses or arrest the owners. In a May 2024 email, Greensboro Police Assistant Chief Chris Schultheis stated the ordinance he described as being developed by his department would “mirror the language of state law, and give the city some teeth to enforce that statute.” When the Winston-Salem ordinance was discussed in October 2024, retired Winston-Salem Police detective Susan Warner told officials it would “provide an additional layer of regulation” and “prevent the businesses from opening in the first place.” She also incorrectly stated that “Greensboro is the only N.C. municipality to enact an ordinance to combat illicit massage.” In December 2024, Pridgen Green, Winston-Salem assistant city attorney for public safety, stated the city would be informing the owners of massage businesses that they would soon be required to register with the city. “The businesses have to know that this requirement is in place so they can apply.

Chief John Thompson Our legitimate massage parlors obviously want to stay in business, and they don’t want to be competing with folks that are not doing things above board.” Green also claimed, “Greensboro has achieved desirable results in closing down some of their illicit massage businesses after implementing their ordinance,” citing an ordinance that does not exist. On March 17, 2025, Winston-Salem City Manager Patrick Pate stated, “Over the next few weeks, we aim to have fully developed procedures in place with the finance department to administer the ordinance.” This has yet to happen. On Aug. 12, 2025, GPD Public Information Manager Annette Ayres stated the proposed Greensboro ordinance was “still in the works” and “the process stalled temporarily and is currently being finalized before being submitted to city council for consideration and approval.” On Nov. 13, Thompson emailed, “It has been with our legal department and, as I am sure you are aware, there have been substantial changes in our legal department over the past few months. I will let you know something shortly.” Thompson was referencing former City Attorney Chuck Watts, who retired the same day it was announced the SBI was reviewing Watts’ use of city time and resources to perform work for another employer. Subsequent to these revelations, one other employee resigned, and two staff members were fired. The proposed Greensboro ordinance and unenforced Winston-Salem one were responses to concerns over the increasing number of unlicensed “Asian spas” operating in the Triad. On multiple sex industry websites, local “spas” are advertised as offering “beautiful Asian girls” who provide “sensual massage for

full relaxation and release.” Experts on human trafficking have warned against arresting the immigrant women who perform sexual acts in such establishments, as they are often brought to the U.S. by Asian crime cartels who have falsely promised them legitimate employment and then hold them in a state of sexual slavery. This became a matter of local controversy after a GPD detective arrested a 59-year-old Chinese woman at Amazing Spa at 620 Guilford College Road on Sept. 22, 2023. The warrant stated, “the defendant willfully performed a sexual act” on the detective’s genitals. News & Record reporter Connor McNeely sent GPD and the city manager’s office emails asking if it was acceptable procedure for a detective to receive sexual services from a suspect. Rather than answering, Communications Manager Carla Banks reached out to McNeely’s editor, Dimon Kendrick-Holmes, about McNeely’s questions, which Banks characterized as “improper.” Banks arranged a private meeting between Kendrick-Holmes and Thompson. There are no public records of that meeting, and Kendrick-Holmes has declined comment on the matter. McNeely no longer works for the News & Record. Following public outcry over the detective having received sexual stimulation from an arrestee, Thompson revised GPD directives to state that no investigating officer may allow a suspect to touch their genitals. This was the first and still only directive issued by any North Carolina police department. On Jan. 7, 2026, Winston-Salem Deputy City Attorney Jerry Kontos acknowledged to anti-human-trafficking activist Ben Holder that no notifications have been
Jerry Kontos sent to owners of massage businesses, no massage businesses have applied for or received licenses from the city, and no citations have been issued to unlicensed massage parlors. On Jan. 9, Pate emailed the following statement in response to YES! Weekly’s inquiries as to why Winston-Salem’s ordinance remains unenforced. “Earlier this week, approximately 15 representatives from various City departments met to continue the process mapping for the project. The reason this has taken longer than initially expected is that it involves more departments than originally anticipated. It is also worth noting that very few cities in the country are undertaking this work. Winston-Salem is at the forefront of these efforts, and we want to get our implementation right the first time.” Pate also stated Winston-Salem is still working on “a communication plan” to alert massage parlors that they must comply with the ordinance. “We will host webinars, issue press releases, and post announcements on our websites and social media platforms to ensure that the impacted businesses are well-informed about the added layer of oversight by the City of Winston-Salem.” On Jan. 12, Thompson wrote: “We are in a similar situation as Winston-Salem in that we are waiting on another city department before the ordinance is put in front of city council. I have made a request for an update from the other city department, and I am awaiting the update.“ !

Romantic aspects are high at this time for single Lambs who are looking for love. Warm and fuzzy feelings are also at enhanced levels for Rams and Ewes who are in paired relationships. [TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This week favors what Taureans dote on — namely, love and money. Look for more meaningful relationships for both singles and pairs, as well as an improved financial outlook. [GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) All lingering shreds of a recent bout with boredom are dissipated as you eagerly accept a challenging offer. Your positive mood persuades others to join you in this venture. [CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might need validation for a possible solution to a situation that involves someone close to you. Consider asking a trusted friend or relative to help you with this problem. [LEO (July 23 to August 22) Investigate carefully before agreeing to assist a friend or colleague with a personal problem. There might be hidden factors that could emerge later on, which will create problems for you. [VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your decision to work with an associate rather than go it alone, as you first proposed, brings an unexpected bonus. Be careful not to be judgmental. Allow for free and open discussion. [LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A loved one’s health problem could, once again, make demands on your time
and attention. But this time, make some demands of your own, and insist that others pitch in and help. [SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) This is a good time for the traditionally staid SCORPIOn to plan adjustments in your day-to-day schedules. Be more flexible and allow for more impromptu, off-the-cuff actions. [SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Avoid creating unnecessary fuss over a situation that you don’t approve of. If it’s going to work, it will do so despite your objections. If it fails, it will do so without a push from you. [CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Working with a trusted colleague could open your mind to exploring some considerations that you previously dismissed. Meanwhile, the weekend brings news from a loved one. [AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Resolving a recent problem leaves you in a good position to strengthen your influence on how things get done. But continue to encourage ideas and suggestions from others. [PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A new friend suggests an interesting opportunity, but check it out before you snap at it. It might be a good deal for some people, but it might not work in helping you reach your goals. [BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of helping people solve their problems, making you a respected counselor and trusted friend.
