Theatre is Easy
August 21st, 2016

"It is so refreshing to encounter two exceptional performers who live and breathe this topic every day...Younger’s background in stand-up comedy has no doubt aided his ability to effectively deliver personal life experiences with incredible humor. He is both hysterically funny and poignant in his remarks on race...Shealy and Younger shine brightest when they are onstage together. Their loving rapport and comic banter are deeply enchanting."

Theater In The Now
August 22nd, 2016

“Two different performers that mesh well...The reason we’re really there is to see the pair together. 'My White Wife, or So I Married a Black Man' is missing more of the fun back and forth banter and chemistry...Co-directors Melissa Attebery and Carl Foreman, Jr. help guide the pair through the highs and lows of the comedy and drama, ensuring that the authenticity remains. Though the more somber moments aren’t as polished. This is a play that will make you laugh.”
