What the Critics Say

Background

  • "Intriguing...nuanced, witty, and incisive...The Harlem Chamber Players offer sparkling, taut performances."

    The New York Times

  • "Whimsical, entertaining, and eye-opening… It unfolded cinematically…enhanced by a hilarious bit of puppetry."

    Cincinnati Business Courier

  • Effortless Perfection.

    The Observer

  • Barclay’s play has one specifically modern-day goal: participating musicians must join the National Alliance for Audition Support, which provides audition grants for Black and Latino musicians, who have been mostly or entirely absent from European and American concert stages.

    Opera News

  • "Barclay's direction, a combination of surrealness and tenderness spelled by rustic comedy, were decidedly convincing, and the audience readily responded."
