What I liked

Very engaging actor playing various roles that kept my attention. Very gutsy in subjects such as S.A. and using racial language to get his point across. This show must win an award at the Fringe Awards Sunday!

What I didn't like

Absolutely nothing. Wish it was longer so he could get more into his arc of becoming a black actor.

My overall impression

A very raw and powerful and poignant story about a black man in a backwoods town trying to make it as an actor and running into the obstacles of racism, stereotypical characterization and casting couch politics.
