The one-woman show "Where My Girls At?" somewhat ironically labels itself a black lesbian satire. …Satire it is, but don't let a label like that scare you. It's smart, timely, and also downright hilarious… Now, before you get worried that the show is this intense critique of race, gender, and politics, be assured that Mosely and director Tamilla Woodard are also very funny and very good at translating a sense of humor that makes everyone feel welcome. And they do so without compromising on Mosely's excellent writing. They do so without watering down the material to make it more palatable for audiences who aren't exclusively comprised of beautiful black lesbians. This proves once and for all that,  yes, women can be funny. In fact, they can be hilarious. And thank goodness, because I was beginning to give up hope there were funny women out there.

“Where My Girls At?” written and performed by the talented Micia Mosely, is a laugh-out-loud comedy that pushes the envelope in too many ways to describe…“Where My Girls At?” is a great night out and a shining example of what a talented and flexible mind can do when given the freedom.

Ah Paris, Beacon of Freedom, City of Jazz
With all the theater out there, how inspiring it is to be reminded how invigorating an Off Broadway play can be with just two appealing performers, compelling music and a searching, intelligent script…“Expatriate,” a two-woman production at the Culture Project delivers on all counts...As directed by Tamilla Woodard, it never lags nor gets ahead of itself.

Great Depth of Characters
The rags-to-riches theme of "Expatriate," Lenelle Moise's new play with music that opened last night at the Culture Project, is familiar stuff. Two black women seeking musical fame in Paris find plenty of heartache along the way - drug addiction, the testing of friendships and the high price of stardom.

Yet as standard as those plot elements are, "Expatriate" delivers them in a freshly imaginative style…The story is told in nonlinear style, with both actresses playing other characters - including Omar, Claudie's drug-addicted twin brother - and is punctuated by songs performed to prerecorded rhythm tracks.

These interludes are powerfully sung and well integrated into the proceedings by director Tamilla Woodard and choreographer Nathaniel Nicco Annan, giving the evening a soulfulness and depth...

Director Tamilla Woodard and choreographer Nicco Annan match the material with a striking physical language. Scenes are peppered with suggestive movement, so that certain words provoke a stylized sweep of the arm or slow drop to the ground. These gestures are used sparingly enough to be evocative, giving the production an elegant, mysterious tone...

Paris is Burning
"Expatriate" turned out to be a well-composed reflection…Because Moïse wrote the play, the smooth way her character worked with Mosley’s surprised me. The characters flowed together as if the actors composed it simultaneously. Also, by standing in the shadows of the stage they convincingly acted out the few male parts in the play without it being distracting. Both merits also attest that director Tamilla Woodard did her job.

Adapted with sensitivity and skill by theatre professionals Sharahn LaRue McClung and Tamilla Woodard (who also provides keen direction), and performed by a committed, energetic ensemble of three professional actors and a live DJ, the nearly 20 stories take the audience on a vivid roller-coaster ride of growing up, surviving, and overcoming adversity in the city.

Woodard and McClung have spun these stories into a highly-polished, entertaining piece that moves forward with a brisk pace, slowing down to let us experience a few select moments of emotional difficulty, but quickly moving forward before discouragement or angst sets in. While the show talks about guns, drug-dealing, peer pressure, and the violence that these youth face, there is a clear intention to keep the tone positive... "Here. This. Now." succeeds as an uplifting piece of documentary theatre. The show introduces us to some real heroes of our city - and to the visionary not-for-profit organization that has helped empower them.
