Cousin Monica is in 'Friends and Lovers'

Man, Cousin Buttons called me today and said she saw a TV commercial late last night advertising something about our other cousin. Apparently, Cousin Monica is in one of those extra fabulous stage plays about black folks' relationships and religion (I'm gonna love it). Don't trip, they may attract a niche but these plays make maaad money. They usually get a couple of familiar names with slightly outdated film or music careers and draw their slightly outdated fanbase, but those folks pack the house night after night. So I'm not mad at all, and it's good to see cuz working again. She had a lil baby boy a couple of years ago and I finally saw lil patna last time I was home in L.A. I realize now that this is the same play with Leon that was going on when I was in Detroit a few weeks back. Alyson and I saw the crowds at the theater downtown, but I didn't know at the time that Monica was in it. Now that I do I'm gonna have to do it right and dress up in my fly hat and shoes, round up a buncha more cousins and go surprise cuz down in Philly. As proud family does, I'm putting her on blast right here:
