Mrs. Independent The Stage Play by Priest Tyaire

     I had the pleasure of taking myself on a date today & just as if I was being courted I primped & put on my best -- a shear black dress that was embellished with grey rhinestones at the hemline and 3/4 inch sleeves.  I dawned on a pair of elegant earrings, slipped on my black stilettos & grabbed my clutch.  I did not need anyone to go with me, because I would met many acquaintances with the same agenda -- to enjoy an afternoon of entertainment at the play by some well known actors and singers:  Robin Givens, Shirley Murdock, Christopher Williams, Anthony & Trisha Grant.  I must say that this crew did not disappoint & gave the audience an awesome performance with excellent improv during technical difficulties.  Bravo to you all!  The music was crisp, clear, heart-wrenching and tear-jerking.  (So much for the mascara & false lashes!)
     I cannot forget the secondary cast members that gave exceptional performances:  Camille Forrest, Joshua Copeland, Carl Lolley, Bria Evans, Priest Tyaire, Sr and Jr.  Yes, father and son paired-up and entertained the audience with humor while emphasizing  the importance of family and having a strong foundation in Christ Jesus. 
     The messages were strong:  you can have all the money in the world, but without someone to share it with you can be left alone feeling quite worthless.  Family is priceless and help to fulfill our lives.   Finally and most importantly, let us never forget to include that major cord which keeps us together as well as grounded -- JESUS who we connect with through prayer.  
     At the end of the show both Mr. Tyaire's mingled with audience and thanked everyone for gracing them with their presence.  Bravo Mr. Tyaire for a phenomenal production and stunning performance by the entire cast.  I look forward to the next play with great expectations.
