What a realistic portrait of so many who have blended into the concrete. The melody of this piece continues to play in my head. Hope. ”

Love how the Noelle even after her (anonymous) success goes viral still feels the fear all artists have of "Do they really love me or my work?'Love her strong daughter's fight to make her mother stand up and claim dignity and her due! Let's get this on the stage and then have a nice long talk about is it better to a successful artist or to be a famous artist! ”

Unfortunately,we are losing too much of it in a world of fast, easy and disposable relationships. Thank you for reminding us of the value and need to tell our stories from generation to generation. I would love to this staged... ”
- Front Porch Society by7 Mar. 2019“ I was at the staged reading of this play in 2015 at the National Black Theatre Festival. It is a very moving depiction of how life's past tragedies, continue to impact us as family , community and as a society. Love the way it marries our history with hope. ”
- Stew by6 Mar. 2019“ I absolutely adored this play. It would be a delight to see come to life on the stage. It is a wonderful blend of love, culture, class and family. (I even picked up a few new words and recipes along the way. ) ”
- The Mamalogues by5 Mar. 2019“ Thompson takes us on a journey of black motherhood unlike any we've seen. The laughter, tears, disappointment, anger and joy that is an integral part of black motherhood is found here. Grab your real girls, get the glasses, let the wine breath and get ready for one of those deep-soul diving evenings of 'after talk' when the curtain closes. I'd see it more than once. ”
- SUPER-DEATH! by5 Mar. 2019“ A heart-wrenching play that explores the unbreakable bond of siblings. In a world where death comes too early for many, this play gives voice to the anguish and love these brothers have for each other. Love the fact that the weak one is actually the one with super-powers.. ”
- THE LAST DATE by5 Mar. 2019“ The Last Date is an interesting theme on gender perception. How often have we seen this happen? Would love to see a theatre take this project on! ”
- Kentucky Lemonade by5 Mar. 2019“ This is a look behind the curtain of what happens when death slaps real life. It's like a puzzle that lost a piece but then is put together better than it was before. Don't know if it's just lemonade but the interaction between these characters is so real you feel a part of the family! Great job, Julie Zaffarano! ”
