Viola Davis is a winner...


Okay, this is a quick shout-out to Viola Davis -- now TWO time Tony Award winner!  She, along with Denzel Washington, won for Best Actress/Actor in a Play.  The play itself -- Fences, is the latest dramatic revival to earn a record number ten nominations.

The producers and lead actors walked away with a Tony.  Fences also earned Best Play honors.

I can't speak enough on Davis' talents.  She is a skilled, nuanced actor who deserves every opportunity I hope is coming her way.  After the limited Broadway run, both Davis and Washington will begin prepping for the feature version of August Wilson's esteemed piece.

I'll be one of the first in line with my ticket!
