In the context of an all too familiar classroom gun hostage scenario, we are thrust into a jarring reality check of what it's like being a teen in urban America. Though you may initially root for the obvious protagonist(s), the deeper reflection is do you demonize or humanize the "apparent antagonist"? ... full review

A breath of fresh air! The joy of Christmas in June is really possible. A refreshing introspective on how to take the metaphorical fruitcake of purposelessness and create the delicious life you really want, making your everyday rich like the holiday. ... full review

A balanced, well written theatrical performance on a fragile and important conversation about the agency of women's bodies. Entertaining and educating all at once. A must see for all genders, ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. ... full review

CHIIILE! This sexy show will allure you right from the start. But don't get wrapped up in that too tough. This story will have you re-evaluating your whole life. (Cue "What You Won't Do For Love by Bobby Caldwell here:-). This is truly a grown folx show in every way. Matt wrote his tail off for this play. The casting was on point visually and they worked their roles with the passion and sensual elegance of two professional rumba dancers. This is most def a couples convo starter here.

The dynamic Lara strategically woos you in with her sweet/coy allure a la Tinkerbell style in the beginning. It starts off with girl next door, middle class Christian foundation. You know, most of us bought into the princess in waiting Disney package... Then she rips the "holy veil" off in her exploration of young adulthood. Lara is a superb actress with an extremely important message that must be heard. I highly recommend bringing your teenage girls to this, to hear "the cool older cousin" scho... full review

This is REAL LIFE. An unlikely encounter between strangers that turns out to be just what both of them needed. The healing you need is not convenient and shows up at the damnedest time. I feel like Nas's "All I Need Is One Mic" is appropriate here because the setting is simple but the writing and performance hit hard like sweet 16 bars. School is in session and I'm here to learn! GO SEE THIS! As a matter of fact, whenever Jessica puts out anything, I'm copping a ticket coz this show exhibits the ... full review

A witty take on this age old issue that women have to dim our light and falsely represent ourselves, in order to massage the male ego. Stacy's show demonstrates how ridiculous we all look when we buy into this lie. The scenarios are a perfect combo of humiliating and hilarious.... full review

Stacy is accomplished and obviously very knowledgeable about this writing business. I had copious notes for just one hour. I wish I could have taken advantage of her special offer during class because I am certain she is worth the original price!... full review

YOU CAN OVERCOME! This show is a testament to the power of GOD and human will to triumph over abandonment and one of the toughest addictions on the planet. You will also understand how essential family is, that it is where you make it. You will learn that familial bonds are established within the drug culture, where addicts feel loved, supported, and celebrated. You should leave with compassion as a response towards that relative or friend that struggles, not judgment. You will get a glimpse in... full review

A collage of dead corpses and humongous potatoes that are the result of our unsatisfying allegiance to corporate America. ... full review
