Show premiers in DC during Mother’s Day Weekend delivering intense drama, tear-jerking and hilarious moments, while also providing a family-building, inspirational and “crowd-pleasing” experience  

Priest Tyaire Productions today announced the release of its  latest hit stage play “Mrs. Independent” featuring celebrity cast members Robin Givens of “Boomerang” and “Fresh Prince of Bel Air”; Shirley Murdock known for the hit song “I Can’t Go On Without You”; and, Christopher Williams known for the hit song “Don’t Wake Me I’m Dreamin”. This highly anticipated production is scheduled to take place in DC at the Warner Theatre during Mother’s Day Weekend – May 8^th thru 11^th – and is sure to have audiences on the edge of their seats, while also leaving them with a message of hope and encouragement.

“Mrs. Independent”, written, directed and produced by Priest Tyaire, takes audiences on a riveting, yet thought-provoking journey of exploring questions like – Can a woman still love her husband if she is the primary breadwinner? Will the roles reverse with her wearing the pants while he ultimately works to honor her every demand? But, what if he is a good man that’s faithful and does actually contribute to the household? Is it possible that true love, affection and Godly integrity can be restored to the marriage?

“I am really excited about bringing “Mrs. Independent”to DC during Mother’s Day weekend because it was actually the influence of my own mom that encouraged me to become a playwright in the first place,” said Priest Tyaire, Founder, Writer, Actor and Producer for Priest Tyaire Productions. “My mom actually took me to my first play as a kid. So, when I discovered that my mom had a major illness back in 2007, I wanted to use playwriting as a way to honor her life. Regrettably, she passed away just two weeks before my first play ‘The Tears of a Teenage Mother’ which had a sold out audience. So, in many ways, when people bring their moms to see my play in DC, they will also be honoring the life and legacy of my own mom.”

In “Mrs. Independent”, Priest Tyaire and Robin Givens take on the leading roles. While Trey (Priest Tyaire), maintains an honest and respectable salary of $40,000 a year as a head mechanic, his wife, Carleena (Robin Givens), climbs the corporate ladder as an attorney and advances to a six figure salary. This creates not only a financial imbalance but also raises a question of Trey’s intellectual compatibility in Carleena’s mind and pushes their once equally yoked marriage further off course. With such a significant gap in their salaries, it becomes increasingly impossible for Trey to satisfy his wife and this leads to a downward spiral of emotional and spiritual conflicts in their relationship.  However, ultimately, audiences will need to attend the play in order to see how “redemption for all” takes place in the end.

About The Author

Dean Rogers

Editor-in-Chief/Entertainment Reporter

I knew early on that I wanted to take my place among the stars. One day, my mother saw me reading The Washington Post at a very young age. Who would have known that it would be the building blocks of my journey? Since that day, I dedicated my life to learn all that is learnable. I read everything from encyclopedias, to books, to dictionaries, to magazines. I’m also an avid consumer of television, with my favorite genre being game shows. If you’ve seen me on Who Wants to be a Millionaire or Wheel of Fortune, then you know that this interest has served me well!

My unique style of reporting began back in junior high school, when I started to chronicle the events that shaped my life. Whether it was the annual family vacation or the local science fiction convention, I shot numerous pictures and recorded my thoughts so I could truly appreciate the history. During my senior year at Friendly High, I wrote what was to be my first masterpiece, “Advanced Space Academy – A One Week Journey.” I sent the eleven-page article back to the U.S. Space Camp staff. The article was highly praised for being “one of the best written articles in the history of U.S. Space Camp.” From then on, I knew what I wanted to do for rest of my life — to be a reporter.

Since then, I have trained in Broadcast Journalism at Bowie State University (2008) in Bowie, MD earning a B.S. in Communications. I gained experience in news production and editing through field experiences with Bowie Community Media Corporation, Prince George’s Community Television, and Bowie State University Television. I also wrote scripts for a variety of quiz shows for over five years.

As a lifelong movie buff, I now see close to 100 films every year. I took this love of movies to the next step when I became a co-host for Eclipse Magazine TV in the fall of 2005. While at EMTV, I interviewed celebrities, worked red carpets, and attended a wide variety of movie screenings. In January 2009, I took a leap of faith and started my own entertainment news magazine, The Rogers Revue. Shortly afterward, my life-long journey of studying the silver screen and writing about what I learned finally earned me a place in the Washington Area Film Critics Association.

All of this has led me here, giving you the latest entertainment news for the DMV and the entire nation, and I am truly excited for whatever will come next.
