“Black Ensemble has so established itself as a place to relax, let yourself go and have fun that the stage was quickly packed with both genders, all races and all physcial persuasions…and there was a smile on every face in the joint”
-Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
“The wholly irresistible new show at Black Ensemble Theater has the ability to restore your emotional health and lift your joyfulness quotient straight off the charts. After all, that tends to be the effect of pretty much all of the company’s productions – shows that also manage to forge a connection between audience and perfomers that is close to foolproof”
-Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times
