Review: "Powerful and wholly satisfying"
Stage West has given us a powerful and moving production of Lucas Hnath’s, and the direction of Clare Shaffer allows the actors to delve into their parts with realism and strength. I was impressed with Ms. Shaffer’s pacing of the script. She is not afraid of pauses which reveal more than words because she has a assembled a cast of actors who internally inhabit their roles. The emotional power displayed by actors who are fully committed give us a production that is powerful and wholly satisfying.

Review: ‘An Octoroon’ At Stage West
by Jerome Weeks | artandseek.org | 11 Sep 2018
Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ Obie Award-winning comedy – getting its area premiere from Stage West – is a wicked-smart, post-modern minstrel show. It’s a mockery of a satire of a spoof of a provocation.

That seems to be the point of Stage West's regional premiere of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' 2015 Obie Award-winning An Octoroon.

Theater Jones - Q&A: Akin Babatundé
" At the center of the play and both of the playwrights’ visions, is colorism."
