“Television regular Sophina Brown leads a talented and largely African-American ensemble in this story…The entire cast ably voices the tensions in this contemporary play, but it is X Mayo, portraying the son’s girlfriend, who is the breakout talent. She clearly expresses the insights, anxiety, and strength of a young woman who knows what she wants but can feel it slipping away. This production captures the intimacy and energy of a live theater performance.”
