Book official tickets for Joe Turner’s Come and Gone at the Barrymore Theatre. Starring Taraji P. Henson, Cedric the Entertainer & Joshua Bo
Reposted from @JoeTurnerBWAY: Golden Globe® winner Taraji P. Henson (Hidden Figures, “Empire”) makes her Broadway debut alongside Cedric the Entertainer (CBS’ “The Neighborhood”), Tony Award® nominee Joshua Boone (Skeleton Crew, The Outsiders), and Tony Award winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson (Lackawanna Blues), who return to the stage in a luminous revival of August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, directed by Oscar®, Emmy® and Golden Globe winner Debbie Allen (“Grey’s Anatomy,” Cat on a Hot Tin Roof).
Set in Pittsburgh in 1911 during a pivotal era of migration and transformation, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone centers on Seth and Bertha Holly (Cedric and Henson) who run a warm, orderly boardinghouse for those navigating uncertain paths. But when a mysterious man named Herald Loomis (Boone) arrives with his young daughter, the stillness of the house begins to shift. This timeless American classic is a profoundly moving story of personal awakening, collective memory, and the quiet power of human connection.

Reality Show Trivia: Surprising Facts About Your Favorite Series
Even years after its premiere, Friends is still one of the most interesting comedy series to watch. But what you don’t know was that there was a huge chance that Jennifer Aniston wasn't going to get to play Rachel because of another pilot she was in. So while they were shooting the show's promo photos, she was asked to step out of some of the pictures in case she didn't end up being in the show.
DEBBIE ALLEN!!!!!! @therealdebbieallen ❤️💙 Got to meet and dj a block party for a legendary pillar, trail blazer, and hero in a multiple communities for me! I grew up going to the dances she held for young people and also was in the same org she was in at our alma Mater Howard University (Campus Pals) so when I got the call I was overjoyed and HAD to take the job! Swipe to see her talking about her new facility and cool videos from that day 💙❤️ #DebbieAllen #ChubbyWorld #ForTheKids https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVjkbMOL77/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
SAG Awards Predicted to be a Nail-Biter with Surprising Upsets in the Mix
The 2022 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards are expected to be a nail-biter, with many categories too close to call. The awards ceremony will be held on February 27th and will be broadcast on TNT and TBS.
One of the closest categories is for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role, with Will Smith ("King Richard"), Benedict Cumberbatch ("The Power of the Dog"), and Denzel Washington ("The Tragedy of Macbeth") all seen as contenders. Meanwhile, the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role category features a tight race between Kristen Stewart ("Spencer") and Lady Gaga ("House of Gucci").
In the television categories, "Succession" and "The Crown" are both expected to be strong contenders for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. "Ted Lasso" is predicted to win in the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series category.
This year's ceremony will be the first SAG Awards since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and it will be a hybrid event, with some presenters and winners appearing in person and others participating remotely. In addition to the traditional awards categories, the ceremony will also feature the SAG Life Achievement Award, which will be presented to actress and activist Debbie Allen.
The SAG Awards are seen as a strong predictor of the winners at the Academy Awards, which will take place on March 27th. With the competition so close in many categories, it will be interesting to see who comes out on top at this year's ceremony.
