U and Me and My Best Friend P

constance jaquay strickland · June 14, 2015 uncertified reviewer
I literally had to take a few days to digest U and Me and my best friend P. There are not many people who are a force to be reckon'd with--Abby is one of those people. The power, the depth, the childlike beauty the poetry, the set pieces made with her hands, the program! All together was a beautiful reminder in the magic and necessity of story-telling. The punch the poems give to the solar plexus is quid unexpected, her sheer imagination & ability to draw her audience in and think while laughing ... full review

Loved it! Bridgette & the entire ensemble was beautiful. The use of movement, sound, silence and lighting was beautiful. Going on a ride of Ireland history at a most important and vital time was a real treat. I thank the playwright & Cast for sharing this work with us.... full review

Sandy gives a performance full of heart, passion, love and what she knows to be truth. Even if you are not a Russian Jewish girl you will whole heartedly be able to go on this wondrous journey with her. ... full review

Shuffle Along

constance jaquay strickland · June 22, 2014 uncertified reviewer
This was a magnificent performance by Arthur. To be taken on a most magical journey through the years of black revues-the words do not come easy. It was a powerful performance by an actor well aware of his instrument and how to bring his audience into his world. The history of black musicals or theatre for that matter is not often told & Arthur does it with love, knowledge, skill and passion. It is above & beyond-A must see!... full review

Into The Fog

constance jaquay strickland · June 22, 2014 uncertified reviewer
It took my breath away and then gave me new breadth. The ensemble was pitch perfect-from the beginning they took me on a ride and never let me go. The ability to harness silence before releasing/giving it away is not an easy task & they did it with a fervor power. It is my favorite piece of fringe and is a Must See! It was powerful and I shall not be forgetting the feeling it gave me, taught me, gave me cause for pause a long while. Cheers to Sam & Samantha for creating work that was alive and br... full review

Poofy du Vey in "Burden of Poof"

constance jaquay strickland · June 22, 2014 certified reviewer
Courtney is amazing! From the moment we sat down we were taken in with Poofy. There was a startling power of stillness at moments and then all of a sudden a grand physical explosion would occur. She has the great ability to draw in her audience into her world. She is a fantastic clown & quite original & unexpected. GO see Poofy and her vulnerable self bring you out of yourself and into her world. ... full review
