I am just now finding a moment to reflect on the experience I recently had in Louisville working on Steel Hammer with Anne Bogart, SITI Company and three fellow playwrights Regina Taylor, Kia Corthron, and Carl Hancock Rux. Wow what an experience! I am in complete awe and wonder at the power of an ensemble (SITI) working that closely and over that many years-what they were able to bring to the stage, and the way they inhabited the text was just astounding. A special shout out to Eric Berryman, who plays John Henry. He gave one of the greatest performances I have ever witnessed. The piece premiered in Lousiville and will make it’s New York premiere next year. Check out the reviews in the press section and on we go!
