Editorial reviews

L.A. Theatre Works has made an ongoing commitment to record "the greatest acting talent of our time performing the world's finest literature." Charlayne Woodard's moving autobiographical piece certainly finds itself at home among the other recordings in LATW's repertoire. In five vignettes about three generations of her African-American family, Woodard paints a vibrant family portrait that is infused with humor, as well as solemnity. The recording is live, as are all L. A. Theatre Works' productions, and the audience's reactions make a wonderful background to Woodard's energetic performance.

I purchased this on cassette a few years ago and thrilled to have it available on Audible. This artist has broad talent - acting, voice, comedy - which is demonstrated in this performance. There is no "downside" to this work so I recommend it 100%.

The rest of her work will also be added to my library.

Uplifting and Entertaining

Charlayne Woodard gives such a powerful performance that I could feel and see without even being at the live show. (Wish I could have been there!) I've listened to her work countless times and am both inspired and entertained every single time. This is storytelling at it's finest Honey Chile! MmHmm
