"...SHE will find a home with both Black and White theater-goers as it tenderly tells She's story - for don't we all have dreams and aren't we all, sooner or later, forced to face obstacles to reaching our goals? Above all, SHE is the saga of hope, a never-give-up attitude which makes dreams possible. SHE is highly recommended for all audiences."

"...Recent local theatre productions featuring black folks have arrived at virtually the same time. ANW's The Bluest Eye and Blood at the Root at Open Fist bubble with stories told of overcoming bias or at least bringing it to light. The pendulum swings and cultures long under the radar are given voice. Now, the world premiere of "SHE" by Marlow Wyatt."

"...The production design is flawless, from Jeff Gardner's ambient sounds of passing cars, rippling water and a skipping stone to Nicholas Santiago's projections of starry nights, summery days, the texts of Hughes' poems, and a flighty hummingbird symbolic of SHE's pent-up desire to spread her wings. Interspersed in the piece are classic 70s soul tunes that set the play's time period and may have you bopping your head and singing along. Eli Sherlock's set, with its strategically placed shutters, doors, and windows, symbolizes the resilience of home and family while Andrew Schmedake's precise lighting, down to a sparkling shine on the floor representing a flowing river, make for some dreamlike moments, apropos for a play about reaching for the stars."
