“The feast of plays you are about to enjoy are diverse and explore cross-sections of race, class and politics, the wonders of love, the discovery of the forgotten and the complexity of human relations. They are topical with strong, dramatic construction and are a wonderful display of what it is like to live at the intersection of a world in which one is a creative, a friend, a lover, a politician or a worker in the world of the United States in the 21st century. “
– Ms. Shawn Rene Graham from the Foreword.
“Steve Harper’s Short Play Anthology is a creation of something special…You need a two hander? No problem. What about Asian or Indian characters? It’s there. Strong female leads? Check. Latinx, Black, non-descript, pathos, youth, wisdom, inside baseball, out of this world humor – check, check, check.”
– Ty Jones, Producing Artistic Director, The Classical Theatre of Harlem, from the Introduction
