”Director Sarah Sanford teases out this devised production's humor with exaggerated movements and dialect, and with Steven Dufala's simple set - four barn-door-size sliding wooden panels - and places Katharine Fritz's costumes and all the dress-up, role-play, and make-believe center stage. After all, isn't that what racism is anyway?” - Wendy Rosenfield, Philadelphia Inquirer

* My work on this piece began with early workshops spanning back to 2013, with a production in the Philadelphia Fringe in 2015. Images are primarily from the more fully funded Philadelphia FringeArts production in 2016. Subsequent productions in New York, Edinburgh, and DC were designed by another costume designer, with my blessing to utilize elements from the original design that best suited the production’s needs.
