Sweet Success of "In the House"

Thanks to all that came out to Sunday's "In the House" event. We had a wonderful time getting to know each other and enjoying the entertainment and music of Fred Pierce. In the house where professionals from all walks of life including a chemist, publicist, a plumbers, a few teaches, DJ's Andre Collins, Suede and others. Legends; Ron Brown of Evidence Dance Company, Kevin Anthony of Black 2 Broadway, Henry Carter of Spirit Cruise and film director Aleada Minton of InnerRising Productions, Inc. were also in the House.

The entertainers included: Lady Jasmin - the amazing drag performer who did a very special rendition of Tyler Perry's Media, DANI performed her new house track and Kenton Rogers brought his soulful sound to the lounge. Here is part two of the "In the House" event recap.



Taj Lounge has been totally renovated and it looks magnificant. The In the House event also included the free V2 Vodka special shots early in the evening, the 2-4-1 drinks from 7pm-8pm and the HBO raffle where we raffled off the complete set of season 3 and season 4.

Change is good...

Not only has his club been open to many groups over the years, Langton Lounge is also a wonderful venue in Brooklyn to party, network and share the love. Calvin has assisted the original Black Pride NYC by purchasing an ad even before the club was open to support the organization. He currently is involved with POCC and NY Youth at Risk . Nubian Dreams is proud to call him a friend and it is with great pleasure that we will honor him this Sunday at the Nubian Dreams Lounge.

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Terrence Howard will make his stage debut in Debbie Allen's Broadway revival of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," the first production led by an all-black cast to be authorized by playwright Tennessee Williams' estate.
Tony-winning trio James Earl Jones, Phylicia Rashad and "Dreamgirls" actress Anika Noni Rose also star in the latest version of Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning Southern drama, which is set to open March 6 at New York's Broadhurst Theatre.
Howard will play the haunted, alcoholic Brick, a former football player who rebuffs the advances of his wife, Maggie (Rose), and faces a tortured relationship with his domineering father, Big Daddy (Jones). Rashad plays Big Mama. The other two main roles in the dysfunctional family still are being cast.
Preview performances begin February 12.
