	I enjoyed this play, it was funny, thought provoking, timely and very well put together. The actors did a wonderful job, especially the young man who played Willie. Although his circumstances were dire, he still had a valid and realistic opinion about what goes on in government and how those policies affect blacks living in America today. Good Job!

	A group of friends and I went. We were so entertained we were sitting on the edge of our chairs and laughing aloud ..The play was well written, the actors and actresses were great, and I found the setting to be very nice. I plan on taking my Mother to see it and I'd highly reccomend it.

	This was my second time around. I had to tell my friends about. I thought the whole cast was great. Due to the katrina subject I was hesitate but it wasn't sad at all. I enjoy all of the plays at the theater. I go every chance I can

	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.

	My friends and I enjoyed "The Desire". There was a positive message that was within the story line. The actors were believable, which to me is an important ingredient. I would also have been comfortable taking teen-aged members of my family to see the play.
	Real Life The Desire (A Comedy - Drama)
	Fri, May 25, 07 8:00 PM	ladyoretha	Female	40-49	Local	Group of Friends
	the play gave a real life story that everyone can relate. You could laugh, be anger, be sad, get hurt and still want the best result. we can carry accessive baggages for years and never discuss the issue but we need too. Many times we lost what life has to offer us as to holding back. i could see this play again.

	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.
