I enjoyed the production of The Other Cinderella. The costumes were very nice. The sound was great. I liked the comedy twist. Really liked the price for parking. Very enjoyable evening.

We really loved the play : I am who I am the Teddy Pendergrass story. We also like that the cast come out after the performance to do a meet and greet. It was wonderful.

I have been going to the Black Ensemble Theater since it was on Bacon Street. I remember the first time I went, I didn't know what to expect. I just couldn't believe the talent. It was so amazing! Since that time I have never stopped going to see the wonderful plays, the amazing talent and t the great music. Jackie Taylor is a true visionary. To top it off of she is so nice and so humble. ThIs past show is another hit for BET. As always I can't wait for the next one.

I loved hearing the story of Teddy Pendergrass. Wonderful performances by both actors portraying Mr. Pendergrass. The young lady playing Patti Labelle deserves a special mention for her excellent performance. Don't miss this show!
