A mom’s review of her son’s work

By Cynthia Barnett

What does a mom feel when she watches the premier performance of her son’s play? Curiosity, nervousness, excitement, pride? Maybe all of the above. But when it was over on Monday, September 10, at Zombie Joe’s Underground Theatre in Los Angeles, I sat in my seat in amazement. Or rather, I joined the many in the intimate little theatre who rose in standing ovation for the two actors of Plus One, which was written and directed and acted in by my son.

The work of my lifetime

Christian Science 
as I see it

By Cynthia Barnett

Christian Science has been in my family for four generations, but I’ve always known it would have been the right religion for me even if I had not “inherited” it. I love Christian Science because it gives me a God I can accept from both reason and revelation. Relying on it all my life for guidance, comfort, inspiration, and healing, I have not been disappointed. It works.
