There's nothing ordinary about a Happy 4 Show Production. Staged in an upscale gentlemen’s club called “Nylons”, writer Brandi Burks takes you on a turbulent ride of love, destruction, betrayal, violence and redemption.
Club Nylons is filled with vibrant characters that bring you into a world that some may know or may not know.

| Reggie White Jr as "James" and Chimere Polk as "Flossy" |
Characters such as “Kenzo” played by Vincent M. Ward, the crip walking gangster who frequents the club and is an integral part of the story. “Raquel” played by Donisha Brumfield a hardworking, feisty, singing bartender with a voice that can rival any singer out there yesterday, today and tomorrow.
To create a little humor “Clarence” played by Danny De Lloyd and his stuttering running buddy “ Lamont” played by Wallace Demarria are patrons that add texture to Club Nylons. The double casted role of “Juicy” played by Kisha Simone and Rhonda Morman both equally great talents is the voice of reason in the club.
“Flossy” played by a stellar up and coming actress, Chimere Polk goes from dancing to much more than she bargained for. Polk makes you feel for her character whether you approve of her lifestyle or not.
There are light moments such as dancing lady bugs, snack pack specials and Mr. Carter jumping over the moon that leaves you wanting more.
With notable appearances by smooth talking host Chad Decatur who prepares you for the experience before the play begins. And mood creator Cedric Lilly who plays the piano throughout the course of the play to accent the highs and lows.
From the set design to music selection Brandi Burks sets herself apart from other playwrights by her colorful story telling.
Brandi Burks is the writer, producer and director who pushed herself to another level with the play “Nylons” and is the person to watch. Look out for Brandi Burks upcoming play “Men Cry Too” in September 2011 and the musical “Under the Freeway” February 2011.
