Must see

See it if Tremendous performance, great writing, interesting exploration of another POV with a thoughtful approach with warmth and humor.

Don't see it if Not your typical solo show. Not just an extended monologue but a series of scenes moving around the set. Just go. It's only an hour.

Specific & universal, Retrospectively wise, Relevant

See it if You enjoy plays which unravel the whys of political unrest through individual storytelling. The economic condition always drives politics.

Don't see it if You prefer plays with non-political economic themes. Read more

"With minimal change of stage location and mime, Director Leslie Kincaid Burby has given us a man whose every gesture and expression from tongue in cheek to craning his head to yell at his wife upstairs is credible and motivated."

“We viscerally experience the challenges, pressures, and disappointments that makes this man vulnerable...No matter your political point of view, this is an important play to see. Mr. Damiano explores the gray/human areas of what is a black and white issue for most people. This play offers a perspective on the vulnerability of our time.”

“With 4% of this nation at present, representing literally millions, believing that the violence of Jan. 6th, and all subsequent threats and ACTS of further violence against any adversaries...is among the myriad reasons why ‘ONE WITH THE CURRENT’ is not merely a remarkable work of art, but a a most valuable public service.”

“A very talented man is Mr. Damiano, and you believe every minute of it...’ONE WITH THE CURRENT’ should not be missed. You will want to take Daniel Damiano home and just keep the conversation going.”
