Overview

Project UPSTAGE is a marketing event and although this is a major voyage, we are confident that we have the resources and professionalism to produce such an event.

Project UPSTAGE gains inspiration from the definition of upstage, "to outdo somebody else; to divert attention from someone else to one's self by being more impressive or noticeable."

It is the goal of Elite Events that through Project UPSTAGE we can increase the visibility of Simone's Home and showcase our ability to "upstage" the competition.

2010 Main Event

One woman stage play.

Hailed by many as “The Vagina Monologues with Soul,” The Pocketbook Monologues has played to sold-out houses in New York, Chicago, St. Louis and Milwaukee and made its television debut on the 2009 season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

It’s a play that is full of fun, provocative, and entertaining dialogue that raises the curtain on talk about the POCKETBOOK, the label black women affectionately describe as the triangle between their thighs.
