3/28/12 Update –> Early feedback from some of our 3/24 participants:
“The Convert was one of the best plays of this season. The subject was riveting, the players were excellent. The reception was great. Regina Taylor is a great playwright and an excellent speaker. I am truly looking forward to seeing Crowns. Thanks for a truly enjoyable experience.”
“The Convert is a tour de force that put the female voice into colonial Africa. While the play looked at the interplay of colonialism, culture wars, and racism, it brought the female voice front and center. Often discussions of colonial Africa neglect women and their impact in society. The play did an excellent job at interweaving these themes. I’ve been excited about seeing Crowns for over a year now. Regina Taylor’s speech made me even more thrilled about the play. I can’t wait to see it at the Goodman in June!”
“The Convert was a powerful, thought provoking play with amazing performances. And what a treat to meet the multi-talented Regina Taylor at the dinner reception! I enjoyed her perspectives and look forward to seeing her next project, Crowns.”
