“We’re all moving targets” and they are. But when they stay still a lot of hold-your-breath engagement happens. There are truths. Dances. Movement together and away. Riveting and moving, Benson takes you through an unforgettable subway ride that will make you think hard about assumptions.

"Showtime Blues" is a relatable piece with engaging characters who share an experience and conversation that is particularly relevant today. The play starts with a joyful energy, abruptly bumps into a racially-charged incident, and then expands outward into reflections of larger society. "We might be moving targets, but don’t mean we can’t be still," is a powerful line that speaks to the choices that people can make about how they live their lives amidst oppression.
