| Jackie Alexander's play (which he also directed) is a comedic, but also provocative, look at hot-button issues as the light skin/dark skin dichotomy among African-Americans; the right of women to pursue their own lives on their own terms; and love, marriage, and infidelity. Alexander provides strong insight through his creation of complex characters and observant, often pungent, dialogue. His direction is also sharp, with excellent acting, particularly from Aura Vence and Nicoye Banks.
This isn't exactly family entertainment, but an adult, mature look at people dealing with difficult issues. Its warmth and intelligence make it a very good evening at the theatre.
NOTE: This play will end its run on March 22nd; there are a few seats left, so you'll have to hurry if you want to catch it. It's well worth rushing to the Billie Holiday Theatre to see. |

| I found the theme of this piece relevant and poignant. Conflict is presented in a wonderfully fresh manner and several themes are resoundingly made without being heavy-handed. The nuiances were handled in pure and honest fashion. The arch of the play and the arch of the characters are intellegently presented. I strongly recommend seeing this piece. |

| The show was amazing. I can't stop talking about it. All the characters did a wonderful job. The next show that will be premiering, I am definitely going to be there. Next time I am going to bring a big group. This show was one of the shows that you can bring children to, couples, and families. Not only was the show great, the theatre was beautiful. On the outside it is not bad but as soon as you go inside, the place is marvelous. I could write on and on but you have to be there to experience what I experience. Trust me it is worth the money and time |

| When i presented the e- ticket the receptionist said "what this" without even as much as a glance- after I had been kept waiting while she was on the telephone. Her co workers made no attempt to assist her with the patrons.
I have been to the theatre once before to see Four Mrn on A Couch- mr Alexander played Jesse in it. I was so impressed I decided to return. m My daughter is visiting from California- I traveled from Yonkers. I am a native of Brooklyn. Frankly I find the rudeness embarassing and am not surprised that the theatre has never been full even though the performances are stellar!
Thanks for the opportunity to give feedback.
Sincerely,
Gail Wright |
