[O]utstanding and truly deserving of the standing ovation... If I could, I would still be standing up in awe of what I witnessed and still clapping.

I wanted to tell you how much we thoroughly enjoyed your performance last night. Both the story and the acting was compelling. You transported us with fully realized and empathetic characters. Your choices were exacting, bold and passionate. Thank you for a wonderful night of theatre and for giving us this story.

“I think it’s a great showcase for talent,”
Doyle said.“The quality of shows is
very, very high.
It’s the same quality of shows, but with
a little less of the really out there."

A MUST SEE!!
CASSEL MILES IS JOSIAH HENSON This creative play, relying on the superb acting of Cassel Miles, his dancing (forgot how I loved the sound of good tap dancing), movement and incredible voice work, makes it easy to begin to feel that you do know who Henson was and what motivated him. You should see this play! You will want to find out more!

I thought Cassel's performance was immaculate, virtuosic--very well moved and very well spoken. He was completely in charge of it, deftly supported by admirably minimal production elements--great soundtrack, well operated. Seems to me the show, as is, would work well on any size stage and would please a significant percentage of serious theatre-goers.
