| Performance was better than anything I'd seen on Broadway or off-Broadway for the price..! Actors were so genuine that they didn't see like they were acting at times. Play was very heartfelt and emotional at times There were also good comedic scenes and the script was well-written. I would highly recommend this play be seen by all. |

| I really enjoyed The Desire. It had all the elements of an engaging play. It had moments that were funny and moments that were serious. The subject matter was very relevant. The actors were great as well!!!! Kudos to Jackie Alexander!!!!!!! |

| The comedy “Desire” wasn’t an ordinary Off-Broadway play; it’s a great Off-Broadway play. The chemistry between the actors was seamless; each actor played their roll on a scale of ten. Never saw a white guy, play a white guy like that before, and the cousins their relationship reminded me of my family.
This is “The Shot”…. Go see it today.

| I had not heard about the play prior to attending, nor had I attended any other events at the Billie Hoiliday Theatre. What a fantastic way to kick off the holiday weekend!
In a word, the play was OUTSTANDING! I am an avid theatre goer, and firmly believe that this play can hold its own against the productions that are now on Boadway. Each character was well-casted and brought to his/her role a strong level of authenticity that kept the audience hanging on their every word. It was easy to relate to the characters and their experiences, and their ability to engage in a inspective dialogue about issues affecting race, gender, relationships, politics, self-respect, social status, identity awareness and culture, without being "preachy."
My only disappointment came twice in the production --- once, when we had to take intermission, and the other, when the play was over. I wanted more!
Bravo! To the entire cast, the producers, writers and directors. The stage was simple, yet effective and the powerful ending opened the door for further dialogue and discussion amongst friends.
This production is worth seeing again. Although next time, I would sit further away from the door leading into the theatre, as I found the the entry of late comers to be rather distracting. Thankfully, the actors (the professionals that they are) were able to ignore these distractions and stay in character. The performers should be further credited for their abitity to maintain the integrity of the scene and their character, even when some audience members failed to control their emotions by yelling aloud in response to the characters' actions. With the strong emotions (inlcuding laughter) that the play evoked, it's no wonder that some people just could not control themselves.
I look forward to seeing more from each of these cast members.
