After receiving a standing ovation, here is what some members of the audience are saying:

​

“You’ve created a very moving, poignant play with actors who gave life to your characters.”

 

Mary Najeddine

​

“You have quite the story, and I’m excited for its development!“

 

Karl O'Brian Williams

​

“What a brave and funny play.”

 

Robin Hirsch

​

“Thank you, Fred Rohan Vargas and the wonderful cast of "Tell Me A Story, Papi."

I want to see MORE shows by people of color that tell authentic stories about people of color!”

 

Kevin Davis

Off-Broadway Producer of  “One in A Million Musical”

 

 

“I greatly enjoyed your production yesterday. Your flashbacks to the 50s and 60s are timely. The themes of the play are universal, and I believe will resonate strongly with the public. For me, the subject of intimacy comes loudly through, and I hope will reverberate with future audiences. Acting was superb and made the presentation much more than a reading.”

 

Michael Jacobsohn

Filmmaker / Editor / Instructor

​

​

“Your play definitely establishes some very compelling characters and conflict!  Plays with a late point-of-attack can be tricky, but the backstory is effectively revealed with present and past staying solidly tied together, motivated by some great moves like Junior's graduation/coming-of-age, the medals Angel keeps, change in discharge status, and of course,, the marvelous integration of Macerio throughout.”
