"...So no, Power's "T Party" doesn't have much to do with Sarah Palin's Tea Party, except as an explicit rebuke to discrimination. The remarkably inquisitive performance, written and directed by Power and presented by Forum Theatre at the Round House Theatre's Silver Spring stage through Saturday, is a kaleidoscopic exploration of gender issues, and the dolphins are just a small part of it. (A subcultural side trip also peeks in on a downtown D.C. club of otters and bears, oh my.)"

"...Audiences don't like to feel like they are being taught. So how do you inform an audience without seeming preachy? How do you make educational theatre entertaining and fun? Ask Natsu Onoda Power, who is hands down one of the most talented artists in Washington. Her new work The T Party, at Forum Theatre, creates a whirlwind strong enough to keep it spinning through material that could easily have sputtered into an after school special about acceptance (it even pokes fun at this directly in a classroom scene about genitalia). Instead, the lighting pace, the pulsing projection images, and the high-flying rhythm lifts this piece into a bumping party of headlong energy, making it's audience forget that the ultimate goal is to force a look at gender stereotypes and teach about the often neglected transgender community. You're learning without realizing your learning."
