Masterpiece Theatre - NOT!!!
This is another one of those satirical joints. It's a fake commercial for one of those Chitlin Circuit, gospel plays that always star washed up pseudo celebrities from the past. I probably should have waited until the holiday was over so more people would read it, but I didn't have anything else to post about. Enjoy and tell me how crazy you think I am in the comments. LOL
Coming to a city near you... It's the inspirational story of a young man trying to do the right thing while facing temptation from all angles.
Female Voice: "Heeeey, Shaquan! When you coming over boo?
A man who seemingly has it all...
Male Voice: I am a strong buh-lack man. I have my own house, my own car, no kids and a fine black woman. I'm living the American Dream.
A man harboring a secret that could shatter his perfect world. Shaquan is in love!
Male Voice: "I don't know why you keep trippin', Quan! You are gay!

Also starring, recording artist Play from Kid N Play reunited with Full Force's Bow Legged Lou for the first time since House Party.
Play (dancing and spinning): Do you think Shaquan is gay? I hear that brother is on the DL
BL Lou: What do you think? That brother gets his eyebrows waxed, his nails done and when was the last time you've seen a straight guy know that much about drapes?
Big Mama, Can Jesus Save Me From The Downlow? is the touching story of a confused man that wants to get right with the Lord. Comedian Reynaldo Rey gives a gripping performance as The Good Reverend Doctor Cleophus Jackson
Shaquan: Preacher, why can't I love a man and still get into heaven?
Cleophus Jackson: Shaquan, the Lord says to love your brothers... not LOVE your brothers.
Watch as Shaquan's inner demons drive him to drink.
Shaquan (drunkingly): I don't know what to do. The Bible says one thing, but my heart says another.
Also starring Calvin from 227, Curtis Baldwin as Junebug:
Junebug (also drunk): What you need to do is stop playing for the other team, and find your strong black queen. And I'm not talking about a drag queen.
Big Mama, Can Jesus Save Me From The Downlow? also stars the black guy from Color Me Badd and from TV's Designing Women, Meshach Taylor.
Black Guy From Color Me Badd: It's not so bad being gay, Quan. Look at me. I have a condo in Midtown, a cute little Mini Cooper and look at my cute little man bag. No straight man could ever pull this off.
Meshach: You ain't exactly pulling that off either, honey! You look like Little Richard and Liberace's love child. But for real, Quan. That downlow stuff is for the birds. Embrace the rainbow, brother!
Also comic relief from 2 Big MC and Poetic Justice's Joe Torre
2 Big MC: I blame his mama. She shoulda known he was gonna be gay when she put that Q in his name!
Joe Torry: I'm saying his mama might as well named him Twan and put him in dresses.
