Review by JULIANA LABARBIERA

What I liked

The staging and technical aspects were simple and intimate. I felt like I was standing next to each character experiencing their story fully. There was nothing to hide behind – this made the raw emotion I felt even more powerful.

What I didn't like

No notes, Fringe extend his show!!

My overall impression

This show has both a sense of urgency and hope that cannot be ignored. Jamar takes his audience on a journey through multiple different characters’ viewpoints that will make you laugh, cry, and reflect on where we are at in this crucial time in history. He knows exactly how to draw you in and captivate you with powerful statements that leave your heart begging for the world to have more compassion. I have never felt more electricity buzz through an audience as I did at this show.
