It is entertaining, funny yet tells something important in a different way. I hope that ends up back at Best of the Fringe. Everyone should see it! 1play = Brown, Black and White All Over 2name = Karen Meredith 3email = karenme@gais.net 4rating = 4 Stars 5review = Compelling, moving, essential, and honest. Reveals the depth of individual and societal heartache arising from unresolved prejudice, injustice, and power imbalance. Stories and characters revealed with great heart and passion. We really need 1play = Brown And Black And White All Over 2name = Jeff Thompson 3email = 4rating = 5 Stars 5review = The Best Show of the Fest. Powerful,beautifully acted and written and about some of the most important issues we have to deal with today. It is also a very very entertaining play. Antonio Sacre's warmth and humor allow us to listen to this very serious material without it ever seeming heavyhanded. If it comes back at The Best of the Fringe don't miss it. 1play = Brown & Black & white All Over 2name = steven 3email = spatter@ix.netcom.com 4rating = 5 Stars 5review = OH, yeah! So much of the time, in theatre generally & the Fringe specifically, it's all about hipness, or coolness, or camp, or deconstruction or just sheer narcissism. It's so infrequently that we see a piece in which someone looks us straight in the eye and says, "This is something I CARE about" 'cause, God knows, when ya do that, all the terminally hip, cool, post-modern, narcissistic folk are hovering out there to heap ridicule on ya for having the audacity to say that some things actually matter. What a BLAST to see something in the Fringe where somebody had the balls to make themselves this vulnerable. The piece was tremendously moving, almost never preachy and, as a storyteller, Antonio has the grace and artistry to keep it simple & honest. Thanks also, Antonio, for getting out and covering some of the other shows for Theatrereviews.com. Yer a class act, bud. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH! 1play = Brown and Black and White All Over 2name = Jay Martin 3email = scenography@hotmail.com 4rating = 5 Stars 5review = A storyteller jumping in and out of fifty other characters fast and effortlessly. You almost know everything about him and about the teens and adults at the workshop he describes. His honest and positive attitude is what makes it bearable to hear about violent and injured inner-city youth. play = Brown Black + White name = none rating = 5 stars review = Enormously powerful as well as entertaining-- Provides great insight into the experiences of individuals + communities too often divided. Like all great art, enlightens our vision + inspires us to aim to be different.
