←Recommendations of Black Super Hero Magic Mama

Craig-Galván has readers think twice about the undue burden we place on those who are grieving to be champions for change, especially when change seems impossible. How do we allow personal space for dealing with loss when it's part of a pattern of injustice?

When you ask yourself what an important piece of work looks like, THIS IS HOW! Craig-Galvan goes straight for the heart, and then leaves with your brain. I'm amazed!

Stunning. This play gutted me.

At turns funny and heartbreaking, BSHMM is a beautiful, timely play about coping in the face of reality-shattering loss. I'm so excited to see this play's trajectory.

Contextualzing the very real moment in American society through the pop culture lens so many of us retreat through Galvan uses theatre to create true empathy in the stark contrast between play and reality. Program this show now.
Let your designers have fun and let your audiences share the reality of too many Black Super Hero Magic Mamas.

Craig-Galván explores this difficult material with deep sensitivity and much needed humor. This play is imaginative, heartfelt and thoroughly entertaining.

I had the pleasure of seeing a developmental reading of this play at Texas State University last year during the Black and Latino Playwright's Conference. The reading was powerful, the described theatricality of the piece was incredibly vivid, and I can't wait to see a full blown production of this play. It's fantastic, timely, poignant, funny, and gripping.

OFFICIAL SELECTION for the KITCHEN DOG THEATER 2017 NEW WORKS FESTIVAL This play was chosen from over 800 submitted scripts and received a staged reading as part of our annual festival.

Joining the chorus of praise for this fantastic play. This is an important piece of drama written in a thrilling and theatrical style. I can't wait to see it on stages across the country.

I had the honor to experience this play as an actor in a staged reading presented by San Francisco's Lorraine Hansberry Theater on Jan 18, 2017. It is a vital and moving piece that deserves production EVERYWHERE! Ms. Craig-Galvan takes a narrative we all know well - black child killed by white cop - and zooms in on the mother's journey through this narrative using fantasy, transformation, and theatricality. This is one of those plays that through personalization and specificity tells a powerful universal story. I applaud Ms. Craig-Galvan for putting a woman at the story's center.
