What I liked
I liked everything. I honestly could have watched two more hours of this. I am also a stand up comic and and actress, and I’m trans while doing it. Though our stories are very different, I related to so much here. What an amazing and generous piece of theatre. I cannot wait to see what Byron and Sidney do next. I could not be more of a fan. Down with Chik-fil-a! Popeyes for life!
What I didn't like
I have no notes. Bravo. more plz.
My overall impression
This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Byron is truly a once in a lifetime talent. He jumps effortlessly between stand up (both dying and killing at the mic in turns) and other more theatrical scenes. His dancing is so impressive and it jumps up and bites you out of nowhere. It’s hilarious and tragic. A view on what it’s like to be a person of color at a white regional theatre that will hopefully startle those well-meaning liberals out of their unhelpful complacency (5th period english word). A story about what it’s like to be black and deal with the police takes a turn that feels both unexpected and very expected. I honestly am so impressed with all the topics this piece so effortlessly wove together, and Byron himself seems effortless thru this workout of a piece, and the direction of Sidney Edwards was RIGHT ON THE MONEY!
