Theatre Reviews

It is Adiza Shardow, however, that truly shines. Her Dorothy is a kick-boxing, public-speaking, glass-ceiling-shattering rockstar in red Docs. She is a role model for young and old. Giving the younger audience members someone to look up to and those older members a hefty kick in the stern to remind them of what and who is important in life.”
