FENCES coming to Broadway

August Wilson's Fences, a play of great resonance (I blogged about it back on Sunday, May 10, 2009), is coming to Broadway on April 14th, starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis.

A Cover Story: Fences

March 28th, 2010
Denzel Washington stars in the first Broadway revival of August Wilson’s Fences, beginning April 14 at the Cort Theatre.

According to production notes, “As he faces off against the racial barrier at work and his own disappointments, Troy also grapples with his son, Cory, over the teenager’s hope for a football scholarship and with his wife, Rose, who confronts Troy over a child he has fathered with another woman.”

The production also features Viola Davis, Chris Chalk, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Russell Hornsby and Mykelti Williamson.

How exciting! 13 weeks only! I wonder if and when (how soon) student rush tickets will be offered. I hope I get to see this one.

P.S. This one is not a musical.

So I've decided that this summer, I'm going to refrain from my typical peach/orange tones and return to my childhood nail enamels of BRIGHT pink and Crayola blue. I bought a couple of tiny bottles from Sephora ($4) and they are perfect as little pigment pick-me-ups.

The colors I own are "Hip Hop" (bright magenta) and "Myrtille" which is seen at left.

I've also been introduced to a miracle top coat by Sally Hansen called "Mirror Shine" that makes any nail polish last/have a glossy, clean finish. It also speeds up the drying process so your nails are completely dry in practically 3 minutes. Amazing.
