Description:

It is Christmas 1183 and you’re invited to a family gathering and to bear witness to King Henry II of England’s announcement of who will succeed him on the throne. But which one of Henry & Eleanor’s sons will be the next king? Unlike Lear, Henry won’t divide his house. Henry wants John, Eleanor wants Richard and no one, except Geoffrey, wants Geoffrey.

Philip, King of France, is demanding the marriage of his sister, Alais, to Richard. But Richard doesn’t want her and Henry does.

So, in may ways, it’s just your typical holiday get-together with lots of family drama. Power and allegiances shift as the players vie for the throne – the one constant being the deep love between Henry & Eleanor.

Join Lumina’s newest performing group – The Raye Players for one of the funniest, devious, romantic holiday celebrations ever.

Married to a successful doctor, her life is a non-stop whirl within the arts world: meeting artists at the Whitney, high profile openings at the Met, and performances at BAM. Marjorie’s seen and done it all, but a mid-life crisis is just waiting to happen. When an old childhood friend suddenly reappears in Manhattan, Marjorie is shaken out of her safe and staid world and into experiences she never expected. Read more.

Gay marriage has been legalized and a Black woman is now the First Lady. WORD! So since Michelle Obama is now the world’s fashionista and icon, that means racism and homophobia have ended, right? WRONG! While media makes the world seems to appear more “accepting” of our differences, there are still many stereotypes that we blatantly ignore, like genderism and AUDISM. WTF is AUDISM, you ask? How the heck do the hearing and deaf connect? What do a gay man and a straight woman have in common? Trust, it’s NOT the same pair of shoes! We’ve got TO do better. TWO heads are better than one. And yes, we’ve ALL got a story, TOO! If you listen closely, you’ll be sure to find, it’s true, that you are TOO of a KIND.
