Broadway World Regional Theatre Tributes

"In the three-day, blink-and-you'll-miss-it run of "The Good Peaches" written by Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Quiara Alegria Hudes, a small team of actors shared the Allen Theatre stage with members of the Cleveland Orchestra. The collaboration yielded a visual and aural feast, like walking into a banquet hall to the strains of a symphony and encountering a vast table groaning with culinary masterpieces, each more inventive than the last."

"The set, created by Philip Witcomb and lit by Michael Boll, was a piece of modern art, the curve of a cyclone frozen in midair and carrying with it the detritus of civilization - sheets of music and bits of cloth and a bed, pillows and sheets and all, suspended above the heads of the players. Dotted throughout the trash were lamps that sometimes glowed. Throughout the world premiere production, the aerial wave of debris was illuminated with light - amber and purple and a cool blue - bringing the gorgeous thing to pulsing life."

"Witcomb created the costumes too, dip-dyed cottons that had the whiff of ancient and futuristic peoples all at once."

"The poetic imagery of Hudes' language matched the beauty of the scenery."
