The Color Purple
Park Square Theatre
Star Tribune- Highly Recommended
"...Whitlock’s “The Color Purple” underscores the fact that this is a show about family and redemption, about people swimming in a sea of trauma. They dress up and hide their hurts. They find solace in stately church processions. They hold out hope for personal redemption after mistakes and wrongs. In other words, Whitlock has shown that Walker’s bitter story is about all of us."

Twin Cities Pioneer Press- Recommended
"...With all that talent and more on stage (I haven't even mentioned Darius Dotch, T. Mychael Rambo and the great Dennis Spears), I have no qualms about recommending "The Color Purple," but I should also point out that, as a piece of theater, it's not entirely successful. Much of the story is told to us, instead of enacted, and the sound-alike songs usually halt the progress of the show instead of advancing the story or revealing more about the characters."
