What a performance! Roz Browne is a maestro of storytelling, comedic timing, and audience connection. It wasn't hard to fall in love with her on stage and with the ease that she moved from story point to story point. As an added bonus? She had family in the audience that she had been able to meet for the first time thanks in part to the Halifax Fringe. She may have been In Search of Black People and community came out to support enthusiastically!

Very impactful, authentic telling of growing up in 1970s Boston from the perspective of a black woman. The gentle delivery heightened the impact. Humor comes through but mixed with the pain of enduring racism .
