Great performance! Ms. Brown is a very talented woman. She convincingly breathes life into a handful of very different characters, and does so with passion! Entertaining, informative, and even (dare I say it?) educational. The actor/friend I went with said this was the best one-person show she has seen in many years. Highly recommend. Bravo!

What I really liked about this event was that it was a great history lesson. I knew most of the characters that were portrayed, but I learned things about each of them that I didn't know. Sandy Brown did a wonderful job engaging the audience as she played each character to perfection. I enjoyed this event immensely.

Great show from a talented and evocative performer. I learned, and wondered and laughed. This is part one of a continuing series, the next installment due about January.

A brilliantly written and executed performance. It was highly professional, informative and impassioned. History came alive as Sandy Brown became these dynamic women, each one different and each one worthy of being seen and heard.

Sandy Brown's performance was outstanding from the very start. She is very talented, kept the audience entertained and taught everyone a interesting lesson in history. However, some of the segments were too long. The play is a bit lengthy. Good thing the shows are on the weekend, but I suggest attending the afternoon performance. I went to the 8pm performance. The theater kept everyone waiting outside until performance time and because of that it did not start as scheduled. The show was over two hours long and intermission was about 9:30pm. At that point I was too tired and ready to leave, which I did.

As an African-American, I've learned even more information about "Black History". Of course we don't learn the whole truth (or the truth for that matter) in our school's so this was very informative. I will share this event with my ladies group.

This is my second time seeing Ms. Brown's performance in her outstanding one woman show.
As I told her, she is definitely Broadway bound!
The show is excellent.

This is a wonderful one-woman show! As an educator, I want to bring all of my students to attend. They will learn more in this show than in any textbook. My only problem was the technical side of things. The sound was awful, and the tech support was talking during the show and not cuing the correct scene for Sandy's next vignette. Other than that, this show is awesome!

Absolutely fantastic! It went from compelling to riveting and stayed there for the entire two plus hour show. Sandy Brown's talents are beyond impressive. It is worth seeing again and again. This very important show embodies all that theater is supposed to do.

There were significant technical difficulties the night I attended but the play was still thoroughly researched and exceedingly well performed. I do wonder if even without the problems if the lengthy photo montages between portrayals doesn't slow down the momentum between characterizations.

Delightful show by a very talented actress. We learned a lot and Sandy's portrayals of these wonderful women was excellent. The film clips were good too, but after the clips were finished, there was too much "wait time" between the clip and Sandy coming out to portray a new character. Since she needs the time to transform herself in to her new character, perhaps longer film clips would help.

The first act included Phyllis Wheatley, Harriet Tubman, Madam CJ Walker, and Harriet Tubman. It was wonderful to learn about each historical figure with such detail. My only criticism is that the play should start at 7 pm instead of 8, or they should consider cutting some of the impersonations. The intermission was around 9:35, and we were told that the second-act included four more impersonations. We left the show at that point during intermission because we did not want to stay past 11 pm for the remaining performances/second act.

Quotes & Highlights

  • Goldstar members have loved Brown in her performances at other theaters. Read what they have to say about her shows at The Lillian Theatre, The Shelton Theatre and Theatre/Theater, where it won Goldstar's "Roar of the Crowd" award.
  • “Ms. Brown is herself a pioneer of today, forging her own artistic creation ... in a town full of celebrities ... she herself is breaking new ground."  —The Examiner
  • "I just saw this great performance, Oh, Yes She Did by Sandy Brown, covering important African American women throughout history. It was quite incredible. I've always been an avid supporter of civil rights and this performance has only strengthened my feminist and egalitarian beliefs. I now have a huge list of books to read by Angela Davis, Gloria Steinem, and many others. It will probably take me years to read them all, but that's a price I'm all too willing to pay. So I say: "Power to the people!!!" —Feminist Humor Blog
