The Day I Became Black

One of the most entertaining solo shows I've seen. Bill found the humor in a sensitive topic (race) without losing it's significance. It was like watching a socially conscious stand up comic.This show has the makings of a great 1hour HBO special. I would watch it again and again and bring people back. ... full review

Laertes Loves Hamlet Loves Ophelia

kathryn smith · June 16, 2018 uncertified reviewer
I didn't know what to expect going into this piece but I came away in awe of the story and the acting. What a cleaver take on three well known Shakespearean characters with a modern day / mildly psychotic flare. Bravo!... full review
