YELLOWMAN by Dael Orlandersmith
Directed by Fred Sternfeld
Starring Kyle Primus and Kristi Little**

K**yle Primous (Eugene) and Kristi Little (Alma), give two of the finest
local performances of the season.
They are both impeccable in their acting and character development. Playing
numerous roles, each hits the sound and movement of every character, from
childhood images to adults of various ages. If there were local Tony awards
to be handed out, the duo should be preparing their acceptance speeches!

*Director Sternfeld, the maestro of the massive musical uber-production,
here is working with about
76 fewer actors than usual. But he keeps every beat change razor sharp and
brings out poignant
dimensions of these two beautifully written characters.*

*I**t’s a work that pleasantly surprises by exceeding the bounds of what is
usually expected from
two-character plays that rely heavily on direct-to-the-audience narration.*

*Mr. Primous and Ms. Little play multiple parts as they narrate Eugene and
Alma's progression from childhood to adulthood, from being friends to
becoming lovers. They are brilliant. Every emotion rings true.*
