In the modern age of entertainment, it’s rare to find content that feels refreshing and original, especially in the saturated world of sitcoms. However, with the debut of “Union,” there seems to be a new wave in the comedy world, and it’s anchored in the rich cultural milieu of Washington, D.C.
“Union” is not just another series on a streaming platform; it’s an embodiment of diverse talents, experiences, and backgrounds converging in the heart of Northeast Washington. Filmed at the renowned Union District Oyster Bar, this sitcom doesn’t merely use a set; it’s rooted in the authentic environment of an operating bar, setting the stage for a delightful blend of comedy and local flair.
Tommy Davidson, whose comedic brilliance is well-acknowledged from his roles in shows like “Proud Family” and “In Living Color,” once again dazzles the audience with his infectious energy. The ensemble cast doesn’t just end there. Ernest Thomas, with his legacy from “What’s Happening!!” and “Everybody Hates Chris,” along with Shar Jackson of “Moesha” fame, and Super Bowl champion Vernon Davis, elevate the show’s dynamic to another level.
A peek behind the scenes reveals the visionary prowess of Russell Webster, owner of Union District Oyster Bar, who joined forces with Bruce Walker, OCTFME’s Associate Director of Television and Entertainment. Together, they transformed this brainchild into a reality. As Walker aptly puts it, “Union” is more than a sitcom. It’s a testament to the essence of D.C., an homage to human connections, shared memories, and the magic of laughter.
Adding to the show’s high caliber is Bill Boulware, with his remarkable resume that includes hits like “227” and “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” As head writer, Boulware ensures that “Union” isn’t just about light-hearted comedy; it’s about narrative depth and storytelling finesse. Chuck Vinson, the award-winning director known for his work on classics like “The Cosby Show” and “Living Single,” adds another layer of expertise, ensuring each scene is captured with precision and flair.
What sets “Union” apart is its essence. LaToya Foster, OCTFME Director, shared the city’s excitement, highlighting how D.C. has become a hub for original content production. With top-tier talents gracing the project, the city stands as an emblem of creativity and innovation in the entertainment sector.
Jessica Washington, from Discovered, mirrored this sentiment, expressing enthusiasm for the partnership and anticipation for the unique content “Union” promises. The show doesn’t just serve laughter; it presents a nuanced take on life in D.C., spotlighting its unique charm, humor, and the diverse perspectives of its community.
For fans and new viewers alike, “Union” is more than just a comedy series. It’s an invitation to experience Washington, D.C. through a lens that celebrates its culture, its people, and the shared stories that bind them together. The series, available on DCE, is all set to captivate audiences globally, presenting a slice of D.C. life like never before.
