“Le Chateau”
Viciousness, jealousy and betrayal will be the order of the day as three diverse women try to find themselves while engaging in questionable behavior. The scene from this most provocative and well written piece is set in a gentleman’s club, dating back to the early nineteen hundreds in New Orleans.
The captivation of it all comes to life in the play “Le Chateau” which is written by openly gay, Caribbean born, New York based playwright Demedrius Charles. The play is being staged at the Paul Robeson Theater, 40 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11238. It will run for four consecutive days, September 9th, 10th and 11th from 8pm with the final
showing on the 12th at 3pm. Tickets cost $20.
Demedrius is an accomplished writer by his own standing. He has published three books of poems and his play “Matters of the Heart” had a three day run at the prestigious American Theater of Actors in 2007. Demedrius looks forward to the staging of his latest piece “Le Chateau” as he knows it will leave you gasping for more of his work. The play is directed by trained Shakespearean actor Courtney Everette. He has won two New York Jean Dalrympie Awards: Best Director for the play Last Dance of Yello Thunder and Best Classical Actor. Le Chateau’s costume design is done by Jennifer Darmaine who is a recognized fashion designer from Trinidad and Tobago.

President Barak Obama proclaimed June both Black Music and Gay Pride Month and this past weekend was filled with a lot of GLOtastic events that celebrated the month of June. First, GLO TV Network started off the weekend with the kick off to the 1st Harlem Black Gay Pride in history. The intimate evening took place at Billie Black’s, located in the heart of Harlem.
The night was hosted by none other than the Soulful Entertainer himself, Butterfly Soul and the house was packed. There were heartfelt speeches,
spoken words, good food and great drinks, but nothing felt better than to see all the GLO on everyone’s faces and the love that we all embraced. A Special thanks to Bacardi and all the sponsors that participated for making the evening an
unforgettable one. The night ended as we continued to GLO in Brooklyn as we headed over to the New York Mega Pride Party hosted by three of the most promising promoters, Ricky Day, KK, and James Saunders held at the Brooklyn Loft. We GLOed right into the wee hours of the night with all the love and support from a few of our GLO friends.
Next up was an event that is sure to go down in history, The 1st Harlem Pride Street Fair. The Street was packed as faces of all beautiful races, genders, ages, and companies dawned along 119th Street. The Saturday afternoon was filled with Pride and Joy as everyone came together in perfect harmony.
The Harlem Pride Street Fair was topped off by great food, good music, gay-lebrity entertainers, Art, Health Education/prevention and tons of networking. This was one you should have not missed because it was GLOvah!! After that we were off to Manhattan to spend an evening at the New World Stages for the Out of the Box 2010 event. The room was wall to wall packed with GLOful faces as we watched creativity on film with the LGBTQ Web Series Festival. The evening was hosted by the moguls of The Future Forward, Nathan Seven Scott, Dwight O’Neal, and Cornelius Jones Jr members of the GLO TV family.
The festival featured popular web series shows that are sure to have us all learning to leave the TV turned off. The event ended with a Q&A with all the talented creators and a few of the characters of the shows. We also had a guest appearance by none other than the frame extraordinaire himself, Stevie Boi.
Finally, the event of all events, the Main Event, The 40th annual Gay Pride Parade. Over 850,000 homo-friendly spectators watched as we showed are true colors through the streets of Midtown and the village. Not only were we at one of the biggest events of the weekend but GLO TV had our very 1st GLO float. Our GLObile was full of gorgeous faces and races.
