Daniel Barksdale Productions, LLC proudly presents Daniel Barksdale's "The Family Reunion" (The Stage Play). 

Jamal's family makes it clear that they only come together for family reunions every five years, and you'll see why. With this in mind, Jamal organizes a last-minute family reunion, hoping to share some important news about the next chapter of his life. However, when his family arrives, bringing their life baggage of hurt, betrayal, and addictions, he quickly realizes that their problems might overshadow his intention to share his significant news. 

Daniel Barksdale, the award-winning writer, director, and producer of "Sunday Morning," is excited to announce his latest stage play, "The Family Reunion". Over the past decade, Barksdale has created multiple stage productions that have captivated audiences, starting locally and expanding its reach to multiple cities.

His most recent work, "Sunday Morning," had three performances in Lynchburg, Virginia, before embarking on a five-city tour along the East Coast. This production earned Barksdale several award nominations.

Barksdale is thrilled to welcome audiences back for another brand-new stage play production, Daniel Barksdale's "The Family Reunion". Prepare for an evening filled with astonishing singing, captivating drama, and an inspirational message that will leave you reflecting on the importance of family.

Blues icon. Soul man. Rock and roller. Robert Cray is all these things–and more. The Georgia-born, Washington-raised musician first picked up a guitar after seeing The Beatles on TV then,having witnessed Jimi Hendrix perform in Seattle, determined thathis destiny would also follow asimilar path. And so he has: across the past half century Robert Cray’s developed into one of American music’s most singular artists.

Across five decades Robert Cray has created a richly inclusive American music, revitalizing both blues and soul while rocking hard with the very best. To achieve 50 years in the music industry and still be as fresh and committed as when starting out is an achievement few can boast of but Cray can: he has released 19 studio albums, every one replete with his extremely distinctive songs, won five Grammy Awards and continues to make music that sounds like no one but Robert Cray. "All these years we have been fortunate to do what we love doing, playing the music we love playing, "says Cray with a smile. “I couldn't ask for anything more."

Tony Hinchcliffe, internationally touring comedian of nearly two decades, one of the top roasters in the world, and the mastermind behind Kill Tony, has exploded in the podcasting space, orchestrating the world's top live comedy podcast since its inception in June 2013. Over the past decade, his platform has attracted millions of listeners. His flagship show, now permanently nestled at The Comedy Mothership in downtown Austin, consistently sells out in minutes and draws a throng of budding comedians eager for their moment in the spotlight. 

In 2024, Hinchcliffe took Kill Tony on a triumphant tour, proving its unrivaled standing in the comedy ecosystem.  The show traveled to prestigious venues like the Forum and YouTube Theater in Los Angeles, and continued the momentum with two sold out performances at the greatest venue in the world, Madison Square Garden in New York City. This journey through the nation's largest arenas underscores Kill Tony's unmatched influence in the stand-up comedy world. 

Hinchcliffe himself is a formidable force in comedy, known for his razor-sharp wit and his preeminent role in roast battles. His participation in Netflix's Roast of Tom Brady was not just an appearance but a showcase of his mastery over the art of roasting, where his words cut through the air with precision and humor, cementing his status as a top-tier wordsmith in the industry. His career, rich with experience and edged with audacity, positions him as a uniquely authoritative figure in the realm of comedy and free speech.
