Christian St. Croix: SEEING EYE by Nick Malakhow

“

I am so in love with “Seeing Eye”, particularly with the way Malakhow seeds his story and unfolds his characters. With Malakhow as poet and pilot, the irrepressible Jason hooks his fingers between yours and leads you into a budding (and at times bruising) romance where flowers may smell of almond extract and scars can be heard if you listen closely enough. Malakhow's definitely earned a place on my short list of favorite playwrights. I’m looking forward to reading and seeing more of his work.

Christian St. Croix: Moreno by Pravin Wilkins

In a country where the narrative of racism centers black and white, what is the responsibility of the non-black person of color? This powerhouse drama questions the nature of the field, what to leave on it, what to take from it and where to place it when it comes to both taking a stand and bending a knee. Its characters are honest and its language doesn’t bother with a sugarcoat. It's a gripping exploration of race and the plight of the professional athlete, the sacrifices of fame, and the blurred lines between "team" and "family."
