We Are Proud to Present Press
“This production is more than exceptional theatre; it asks thought-provoking questions about authority, perspective, and intention…For those who only check reviews for a quick verdict, here it is: winner. Street Corner Arts’ production of Jackie Sibblies Drury’s play-with-the-very-long-name has some of the best ensemble work and direction (by Liz Fisher) that you’ll see in Austin. ”
— Elizabeth Cobbe, Austin Chronicle
“This production and these performances shook me so deeply that I woke up suddenly after only two hours of sleep that same night, realizing that my mind and emotions had been in struggle in my subconscious , trying to formalize the very opening paragraphs written above. I left words scrawled and almost illegible in a notebook on my desk, where I’ve been avoiding them now for the last five days. The hurt hasn’t yet healed, but We Are Proud to Present is initially so entertaining and then such a conflagration of our unconscious assumptions that it is vital, necessary and ultimately inescapable theatre. ”
— Michael Meigs, Central Texas Live Theatre
“WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT… is a truly transformative experience both teaching audience members, while giving voice to others about the darker periods of human history. “
