At the risk of throwing fodder to people who throw shade at 50 something year old ex soap Black actresses who do theater, Tonya Pinkins has been getting rave reviews, alongside Dianne Wiest for Rasheeda Speaks:

Anyone who thinks that theater is a step down from soaps has never been anywhere near a Broadway stage.

I won't even get into it but it came up in the madness of the locked thread which shall not be named. I thought it was a way off the mark statement (part of a series of such statements by the same author) but I didn't think it worth responding to, plus that thread had me tired already.laugh.png

She is well worth it, if you ever get a chance to see her, take it. She carries that 'fire' of someone who has lived and had to climb over obstacles but has never lost that great respect for the work and she goes about it with all due diligence.

The first time I saw her onstage, it's kind of the way I felt when I first saw Viola Davis onstage-- just total command of their craft. I hope Viola never leaves her theatrical roots behind because she is never more powerful than she is onstage. Not all actors have this ability and some do get lost onstage but Viola, Tonya Pinkins and actors like them are like, True North!
