Theatre Review: Rosa Parks: Such A Time from The Essential Theatre, by special arrangements with See the Fruits, Inc

“We had no idea it would take so long, and be so hard.” There’s a hard truth in that statement, softly but emphatically delivered by Gwendolyn Briley-Strand as Mrs. Rosa Parks that seems to sum up much more than the Montgomery bus strike. It sums up the entire Black experience in this country, and the escalation of hostility toward communities of people of color over the last four years. It’s one line, but reflects the bone- and soul-deep weariness of an endless battle and the one-foot-in-front-of-the-other-courage needed to keep on fighting. It was a perfect show to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Day. It is also a perfect show to remember how much work is still to be done.
