“I actually knew probably from the time I was 13 or 14 that I wanted to act,” said Marylouise Burke, star of “Epiphany.” “But it seemed like such an impossible dream. And I never admitted that to anybody.” https://t.co/9D2lo5E5tH

Arguments, or thought, are only 1 element of drama. Many plays feature character, or music, language, plot, or spectacle. FOR COLORED GIRLS. Caryl Churchill’s plays. Strindberg’s DREAM PLAY. Jose Rivera. Respond to the intention of the play. Please don’t dictate your own taste.

@JimJosephNYC @ImOscarWilde It was such a terrible, racist article. As a member of the cast, I found it really sad. We are having the times of our lives, celebrating black joy! Celebrate with us or just leave us alone. Damn!

@saybarra Just saw it and it was INCREDIBLE. So proud of my friends! ❤️
