South & Saints Reviews

Theatre Bloom- Recommended

"...It's really difficult to accurately describe the performative elements of this production because it is a beautiful jumble of storytelling, occasional singing, recollective memory, and just a feel-good reflection on the way life was for black individuals living through segregation and the integration in the city of Frederick. Gifty Amponsem, Evan Carrington, Victoria Causey, Alonzo Cook, Marcus Kersey Jr., and Rona Mensah each share equally the narrative responsibilities- acting as themselves (think Godspell where everyone is themselves but they still take turns engaging with Jesus and telling the parables? Only there isn't one leading-Jesus here, they're each their own scenic leads when it comes to guiding the path forward.)"
