  • Funny, Like An Abortion
    4 Jul. 2022
    I saw this streamed as part of the Playground SF production. It's funny, intense, and truly frightening. It needs to be produced right now, as many times as possible, as widely as possible.
  • BUFFALO'ED
    18 Jul. 2021
    I saw this at San Jose Stage Company in 2012. I found it not only educational, in that I learned about a part of American, and African American, history we don't usually hear about, but also entertaining as I felt I was watching real people facing real issues. As I type this, images from the production come to mind years later. This creates a vivid picture of our history.
  • Un-Hinged: a Silent Opera
    10 Aug. 2020
    I saw this in Wiley West's production and was blown away by it. It has even more relevance in this era where we are deconstructing male privilege. A really creepy (in a good way) play that deserves to be seen on multiple stages.
  • WHEN THEY SEE ME (ONE ACT VERSION)
    2 Aug. 2020
    A Twilight Zone episode for the Black Lives Matter age. The mother and son relationship reads as authentic; the mother's hopes, dreams, and worries for her son clash with the son's idealism and boldness. I was moved to tears about two-thirds of the way through. I want to see this come to life.
  • You Will Get Sick
    4 May. 2020
    What do I say about this play? It's experimental. It's wild. It's funny. It's economic. Wants hang in the air like giant marauding birds. Oh, yeah, there are giant marauding birds. Very strange to read this in the age of COVID-19 - although it's not a COVID-19 play - and it feels just as out of control, as one may feel when one is ill. I think an adventurous theatre would have a great time staging this, on a stage. Given it is not a realistic play, I also think it would work perfectly well streaming from the actor's homes.
