Star Tribune - Highly Recommended
"...From the opening, we sense the preoccupied concern in Aimee K. Bryant's Ruth, as she gets her household going one morning in south Chicago. Darius Dotch's Walter Lee, Ruth's husband, is cocky and street-smart - a working man full of dreams and frustration. Greta Oglesby is the matriarch, Lena, marked by a calming cadence in her voice and unspoken power in her face."

"...Darius Dotch is riveting as Walter Lee; with a lesser cast he would have completely dominated the show. He conveys the desperation, hope and selfishness of a man who hates his lot in life and will not let anything stand in the way of his dream. Aimee K. Bryant ably conveys the melancholy outlook of his wife, who has almost given up hope even as she strives to preserve her family."

"...Park Square Theatre's current production captures the full power of Hansberry's vision. Staged on the Andy Boss thrust stage, the production gives its audience the intimacy of feeling like we are in the Younger's cramped apartment on Chicago's South Side. It is directed with sweeping majesty by Warren Bowles and animated by a brilliant cast led by the astonishing Greta Oglesby as matriarch Lena Younger, Aimee K. Bryant (what a year she is having!) as Ruth, and Darius Dotch giving his best-yet performance as Walter Lee."
