“ Oh my goodness, yes, this is PRECIOUS. I was utterly charmed. This is populist, accessible sci-fi, and I am so here for it. Jasmine represents such a fun night out for families with older 10-12 year olds who don’t want the smarm of younger children’s theatre. It’s good for school matinees or for adults. (Todd, the romantic, and Craig, the long-suffering uncle, will steal the show.) I could hear an audience coming to life and live-reacting while reading it. Fun, fun, fun - with a healthy dose of ethics blended in. ”

“ What a stunner. The depth and breadth of feeling that was captured in this play was so vast - across time, generations, religions, temperaments, and terrain - that I came up out of the reading startled to have not literally travelled. It was a gift to visit with all of the grandparents in the play, dazzling in their imperfect humanity, and reflect on my own lost four. Congratulations to you, Jake. I hope it has a long, vibrant life in productions around the world. ”

“ This warm and vulnerable four-hander embodies the notion that the only constant is change. As Sarah and Jake find the courage to try again (and again) with each other, we are urged to find similar embers of courage to fan once more within ourselves. ”

“ DIASPORA! straddles time, realities, and vast canyons of meaning. In 1952, a black woman and a white man dare to love each other and argue civil cases against Boston's overly brutal police force. In modern day, Sunny is attempting to unravel her mysterious history after the death of her sister, and the near-indoctrination of her niece Janae into a separatist cult. Sunny's roommate, Patrick, is a white man in love with a Korean scientist, John, and they are simultaneously debating whether their relationship can succeed. Rich, delicious, magical, *radiant*, DIASPORA! is a layered treat guaranteed to evoke meaningful conversation. ”
