Tambo & Bones Reviews

Washington City Paper- Recommended

"...Tambo & Bones may be imperfect but it admirably goes full gas, asking for no acceptance or understanding by the broader theater world or even its audience."

Morris Theatre DC- Recommended

"...Tambo & Bones is a brilliant commentary on "acting" within white society, with plenty of laughs and gasps, and featuring sublime performances and crisp direction."

BroadwayWorld- Recommended

"...With TAMBO & BONES, Spooky Action Theatre takes on a satirical and biting piece that refuses to play by the rules, whether it be of narrative, of genre, or of comfort. What starts as a minstrel show quickly mutates into a centuries-spanning interrogation of race, capitalism, and the hunger for autonomy, all filtered through Dave Harris's sharp, unruly script. It's a piece that demands attention by provocation rather than clarity, and this production leans fully into that challenge."

DC Theater Arts- Highly Recommended

"..."It’s also one of the most impactful theatrical experiences I’ve had in a long time. See it while you can."
