THIS CHRISTMAS EMBRACE THE JOY OF A STUBBORN HOLIDAY ll

Memphis, Tn- A Stubborn Holiday ll. The Actor's Renaissance Theatre. Set in the enchanting lobby of Memphis's Regal Hideaway Hotel, the festive season kicks off with Rebecca Fox (Vickie Byrum) and her team gearing up for their annual holiday party. Just as joy fills the air, Rebecca faces a bombshell—her fiancé's (Renwick Malone) brother (Joshua Horton) professes his love for her. The plot thickens when a guest's (Antamica Arnise Grimes) sparkling diamond necklace mysteriously vanishes, turning the celebration into a suspenseful whodunit. Enter the astute detective Mitch Bridgewater (Jeremi White) and his unwilling wife Clara (Caroline Liggins), as they dive into the mystery.

Meanwhile, the hotel’s chef (Gregory Anthoney Jones) grapples with the surprise visit of his long-lost son (Theddrick Griffen), a revelation that complicates his marriage with his wife of six years (Shana Schaffer), who he never told he had a son. The drama intensifies among the guests, from a glamorous movie star (Brittany Howard) and her assistants (Shaunell Chears, Shuntae Brown), to a starstruck employee (Dabrell Thompson).

Adding to the mayhem is a blogger Skylar Whittington (Jessica 'Miss Chocolate' Taylor), Ryan's ex, who lurks around ready to spill secrets about her stay at the Regal Hideaway Hotel. Amidst music, dance, comedy, and drama, Rebecca and Ryan struggle to keep their own secrets from unraveling, distinct and rare childlike cats lurking around the building.

Join us for an evening brimming with laughter and intrigue as "A Stubborn Holiday" promises to uplift your spirits and fill your heart with festive cheer. How will it all end? Come find out in this delightful holiday extravaganza! Written and Directed by: Mary Ann Washington

Okay ... LL COOL J

LL Cool J declared himself "the most important rapper that ever existed" during a recent interview on Apple Music’s Le Code.

Citing his pioneering influence on hip-hop culture, he credited himself with introducing elements like flashy jewelry, champagne, and love songs to the genre, which remain staples today.

LL also highlighted his pivotal role in Def Jam Recordings’ early success, laying the groundwork for future hip-hop billionaires.

Iron Mike the father

“I had my oldest son who was 16 telling me he wanted to become a professional boxer. But stop there… you went to a private school! You can't be a boxer, you've taken trips to Europe, you've been around the world. You can't be a fighter with that. You want to fight guys like me? Animals? I don't want my kids to go through that, it's degrading. Boxing, you do it when you have nothing.

It's a lot of sacrifices, pain, suffering. I took the blows so that my children wouldn't have to do it. When I look at them, I see middle-class children, who went to school, who do what they want. Boxing means wanting to be the best, to dominate everyone. I don't want to put that kind of pressure on them." - Mike Tyson.
