A Must See!!! Through The Night @ Crossroads Theatre
Questions:
Do you look to be inspired?
Do you look to be uplifted?
Do great performances touch and move you in ways you can’t describe?
If you answered yes…I URGE you to visit the Crossroads Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ, tonight…or any night through February 21st.
Why?:
“Through The Night, A Soul Aria” written and performed by Daniel Beaty.
Directed by Charles Randolph Wright.
So…my normal witty, clever, sarcastic, and overall masterful prose (that you regularly enjoy with this award winning blog) is put to the side today to focus on quite simply put, one of the most powerful and moving plays I’ve seen in quite a while. This play provided a backdrop to what turned out to be a very special and memorable weekend.
This is a one-man play where Daniel Beaty portrays 6 male characters ranging in age from 10-60ish. Eric, Tuan, Dray, Isaac, Mr. Rogers, and “Bishop”. Beaty bounces from each character at a feverish pace right from the beginning introducing to us their vibrant personalities and distinct backgrounds. It soon becomes evident that each character’s life is intertwined with each other’s. The underlying message begins to appear and then builds throughout while Beaty masterfully turns dialogue into spoken arias, sermons, spirituals, comedy, and poetry…all which bring chills, tears, laughs, and emotional applauses from the audience. One word…captivating. Each character was so real…so powerful…so alive…and all coming from one man, which was so amazing, that I lack the words to describe it. The set is simple. It forces you to become entrapped in Beaty’s storytelling. An entire world appears right in front of your eyes that does not physically exist…but exists within your imagination. When an artist of any kind can take you on such a journey, this is where you touch on something special, something magical…from the artist themselves…and from within yourself.
So I tell you, go…just go…and you WILL be uplifted…you WILL be inspired…and you WILL be moved in ways you can’t describe.
Thank you Marshall. Thank you Daniel. Thank you Karen.

New Years Eve, New Jersey Bars, New Jersey Nightclubs
We’re almost there…the 00’s are coming to a close. Now on to the 10’s, teens, or whatever the hell you feel like calling them. All’s I know, is the Bills didn’t make the NFL playoffs at all during the past decade, so the 10’s are where we go to a bunch of Super Bowls and lose ‘em all again…can’t wait.
So let’s get close, snuggle up a bit, and you can tell me what you’re doing for New Year’s Eve in a couple days. If you don’t have a clue, I guess that just means you’re a loser. Just kidding, I’m here to help with your decision making process.
Click on baby new year (or here) and find what’s going on @ New Jersey Nightclubs and New Jersey Bars for New Years 2010.
Oh yeah, if can’t figure it out, once at UpAfterDusk.com , click on the calendar icon to select the 31st to see everything!

Sexy Black Dress Party | New Jersey Bars
Dear Ladies…get your black dresses!
You know I love you and all Mom…awesome to visit you as always…but tonight, I kinda wish I was 4 hours south of your house…in Woodbridge, NJ. Yeah, I said it…for the first and may I note ONLY time in my life, I am wishing that regardless of where I am right at this particular moment, I would rather be in Woodbridge, NJ. No offense Woodbridge…but I understand if you are…I just dogged your town. Actually, I’m just really thrown off right now because me lady (no, I didn’t misspell “my”…I’m just trying to sound creepy) in the flyer below is blowing me a kiss. That’s right, she’s blowing it to me! Kinda how every stripper looks into your eyes like you’re the only guy in the room. Actually…not really sure on that one, but it’s what all my friends tell me.
Wheww…ok, got off topic there for a bit, but tonight @ Big Shots in Woodbridge, NJ. You’re not going to want to miss this. It’s a Sexxxy Black Dress Party (pretty self explanatory) sponsored by Johnny Walker Black…mmmmmm! Read the details on the flyer for everything else lazy.
Let’s recap all the inappropriate things in this post:
MOM, girls on print ads that I think like me, STRIPPERS, sexy black dresses, and booze.
There it is ladies! I AM single, and to answer your question…yes, I am that one you can take home to mom.
