Well, not really, but I’ve been working with Arizona State University’s Antislavery Literature Project to get them an image from the blockbuster hit at Central Square Theater, Harriet Jacobs. They’ll be translating the work into Chinese, and needed a poster-worthy image for their efforts. I just got the proof of the poster for my archives, and lemme tell you, it’s pretty much awesome.
It’s funny because I’m apparently working on three shows simultaneously:
Providence Journal’s official review of Harriet Jacobs. Not sure what they did to make my photo look that … well… bad, but there it is, nonetheless.
The Boston Phoenix has been struggling to send a theater critic to Central Square Theater productions this season. Like most news media outlets, they’ve had to cut back on staff, and some of their critics now freelance. And that’s why this review of Harriet Jacobs is so great.
A little late in the game, but just in time for me to tell you that due to popular demand, Harriet Jacobs is adding two more shows this weekend - Saturday at 3 pm and Sunday at 7 pm!
As this show has been sold out for most of the run, it’s advisable to get your tickets NOW. And as always, the discount code for my readers (all 6 of you!) is “HJ10”.
I dunno why, but I got a little verklempt reading this review. (Which features and credits TWO of my photos!)
I think it partly has something to do with the fact that it is SO DAMN HARD (excuse the language) to please this particular critic. And she LOVED it.
What does that tell you about the quality and content of this show?
Don’t forget - $10 tickets. ”HJ10” at checkout. http://www.centralsquaretheater.org
Use it.
You won’t regret it.
