Best chess set for 8 year old

The Tony Awards Administration Committee has announced its first round of eligibility rulings for this Broadway season, determining some of the trickier potential nominees and their respective categories. Both co-stars of The Collaboration – Paul Bettany and Jeremy Pope – will be considered eligible in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play, rather than split up into leading and featured slots. Ohio State Murders, written by Adrienne Kennedy in 1991 and performed regionally but never on Broadway until this season, will be considered a revival in keeping with similar rulings in recent years about Broadway debuts of older shows such as The Boys in The Band. Perhaps among the more surprising rulings is for Sharon D Clarke, who played Linda Loman opposite Wendell Pierce’s Willy Loman in Miranda Cromwell’s Death of a Salesman revival. Clarke will be eligible as a Featured Actress rather than Leading. Also, the committee ruled that for the 2022-23 … [Read more...] about Tony Awards Committee Sets Eligibility Rulings For 2023 Contenders ‘The Collaboration’, ‘Almost Famous’, ‘Death Of A Salesman’, Others

Tom Brady said today he’s retiring, and this time for good. In a video posted on Twitter this morning, he said, “Good morning guys, I’ll get to the point right away. I’m retiring, for good. I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first. I won’t be long winded. I think you only get one super emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year.” “Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn’t change a thing. I love you all.” The seven-time Super Bowl champion is now set to become the lead NFL analyst on Fox in a deal announced last year that was set to take effect as soon as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback finally concluded his career.

With the International Olympic Committee due to convene in Lausanne, Switzerland tomorrow to discuss the location of the 2024 and 2028 Summer Games, it increasingly looks as though Paris will be the host city seven years from now. Today, executives from Discovery Communications and Eurosport , which have all TV and multi-platform rights in Europe for the winter and summer games from 2018–2024, met with members of the Paris 2024 Olympic Bid Committee in a show of support for an Olympic Games to be held in Europe in 2024. Los Angeles has also been vying to host the 2024 games, but on Wednesday LA 2024 Chairman Casey Wasserman appeared to say that the city would be open to waiting until 2028. In a statement, he said, “To be blunt, LA 2024 has never been only about LA or 2024. Even when the issue of a dual award for the 2024 and 2028 Games was initially raised, we didn’t say it’s ‘LA first’ or it’s ‘now or never’ for LA: that sounds like an ultimatum.” Per Reuters, … [Read more...] about Discovery, Eurosport Throw Weight Behind Paris’ 2024 Summer Olympics Bid
