10901 Little Patuxent Parkway Columbia

Produced to great acclaim off-Broadway in 1979 by The Negro Ensemble Company, “Home” transferred to Broadway, where it played for an impressive 288 performances and was nominated for two Tony Awards in 1980 (Best Play and Best Actor). This brilliantly inventive, lyrically expressive play deals joyfully with the coming of age of a young black man, Cephus Miles, from rural North Carolina. From beginning to end, Cephus never loses his joyous goodwill, his indomitable spirit and the conviction that one day his quest for fulfillment will be rewarded.

"...Quander gets (or makes) the worst of this. Her confidence is inviting as she assays everything from church ladies to dope peddlers, but too many of the characterizations rely on pedal-to-the-metal energy. Curry at least gets to downshift as Cephus's long-standing love interest, Pattie Mae, and her scenes with Hardy are blessedly gentle and warm. These are the moments that bring the play home, if only after a fairly noisy ride."

"...Home can be the place that you grew up in, or any place that you spend a significant amount of time. More than a physical representation or a metaphor for a secure and loving place held deep in your heart, comes Rep Stage's transformed in-the-round presentation of Samm-Art Williams lyrically expressive, Home directed by Duane Boutte."

"...Thanks to Williams' eloquent writing, Cephus' journey unfolds so earnestly and intriguingly that a couple of implausible plot-turns prove digestible enough. In the end, there's a satisfying arc to the story, one that brings the audience back home right along with the lead character."

"...I saw the show at the first night of preview, so I can't render a verdict. But I can tell you that the performance I saw was very entertaining and held my interest to the point that the two hours or so passed by quickly. It can only have gotten better."

"...Home was written before the advent of personal computers and the Internet. But we all know how comfortable we are at a home page after exploring an unfamiliar website. That is the message of Home: a good, comfortable place to return. And with this outstanding cast, director and crew, Home is a good play to see."
