    “

    I had the opportunity to see 'Riverwood' in two very different theatre spaces in Seattle and the script worked well in both. It's a beautiful dance of interwoven stories; each character reaching for a future where their dream can thrive and all of them connected by a PLACE that holds layers of history.

    A personal story about a community that feels all at once vast and a slice of the universal discussion. These characters feel FULL and active. Their drives are so clear and their souls so fully painted. It is also a play that feels extremely accessible to a younger audience - it bounces and sings (well, raps...), while tackling big topics, and it never feels like it is trying to shove something down your throat. Instead it is what it is - and what it is is something that leaves you thoughtful and smiling. Congrats to Mr Creech!

    Riverwood is a hopeful story about finding family in community when the place you call home is disappearing. Andrew beautifully weaves together so many poignant and potent themes — gentrification, colorism, racism, and family — all while exploring the importance of art and expression no matter what. I was lucky enough to see a reading of this play as part of Seattle Public Theater's Locally Grown series and I hope I get to see a full production one day. Thank you, Andrew!

    TEL: "I don’t know. Like, if everything got a balance to it, shit’ll work out, right?”

    This story gave me all the feels. It was hard and soft. The characters drew me in. Their experiences broke my heart, illuminated important insights and understanding, and gave out some hope. The scene with the mural was especially touching. As an artist, it instilled a sense of purpose to making art in difficult times. Much like this play's importance in the times we're living in now.
