About the Show

An amalgamation of two one-acts, presented as part of a social scientist's research on the subject of empowerment. Part of the 2018 Dream Up Festival.

In the first one-act, 'Coz We’re Just Friends,' a nerdy, affable, college student, struggles to refuse doing a major favor to his closest friend, despite finding himself emotionally bullied, because of his deep love for his friend and his own conceptions about friendship. The second one-act, 'All In My Head,' focuses on a black actress, who complains to her representation about her repeated casting as a maid, leading to a deeper discussion about her particular problem, the generic problem. and how it can be resolved.

Relevant, Great writing, Confusing, Thought-provoking, Quirky

See it if you want to support new works that have potential. Some good acting and use of minimal sets. Explores two relevant topics but a bit unevenly

Don't see it if you want a polished production. The actors for the most part are giving it their all but the start and end failed to put it all together.

Disappointing / has potential, Some good acting, Meeks (1st) minorities (2nd): zero connection, Good script(s) / relevant / resonant

See it if you want to support new playwrights & actors. This play has potential w/its relevant theme(s), but it's not quite there yet.

Don't see it if you expect to hear a hypothesis and/or some conclusion to the "case study". Unfortunately, the 2 Acts don't connect so you're left hanging. Read more
