Drama, Drama, Drama: plays straight outta Oakland
“Judy Juanita is a poet of the theatre, her characters three dimensional, universal, funny, and unforgettable, her dialogue filled with real talk in real situations. She explores racism, sexism, and aging with dignity. A book for rehearsal warmup exercises, audition monologues & classroom scene study that should be in the canon of theatrical literature.”
—Robert Alexander, Playwright, The Fire Next Time and Plays From The Boom Box Galaxy
