Recommendations of Black Super Hero Magic Mama

  • Andrew Heinrich: Black Super Hero Magic Mama

    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.

    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.

  • Michael Alan Herman: Black Super Hero Magic Mama

    Inda’s writing is the most original voice I have read this year and her characters are alive with variety and attitude. But…the best part is her bravery in theme. She explores some of the hardest politics of our time in a refreshing and sincere way. Overall, a strong character piece that is a treat for dramatic actors.

  • Hannah C Langley: Black Super Hero Magic Mama

    This is the most necessary play I have ever read. It needs to be produced yesterday! Somehow, through all the trauma this play explores, the playwright makes us laugh as much as she makes us cry. But, most importantly, she leaves us with genuine hope.
