Despite a story
that balances precariously on the tenterhook of tragic loss, director Jimmie
Woody keeps his talented performers and their textured performances from
sinking into and getting lost in that emotion. The heartbreak is obvious, omnipresent
and all-encompassing, but by bearing the pain and moving forward, the survivors’
resilience and the harsh reality of the street are made even more poignant in this powerful play.

Dobama, Cleveland’s fine off-Broadway
professional theatre, opens its 2017-2018 season with a mesmerizing production
of Kimber Lee’s “must see” script.
Generally well-directed, often superlatively acted, this is drama at its
finest! The opening night standing ovation was
well-deserved.

Director Jimmie Woody clearly has a deep affection for this material, and he has done the play proud by casting Jabri Little as Tray and Logan Dior Williams as Devine.

Though "Brownsville Song" is tinged with sorrow, it does not wallow. Instead, everything about it, from its animated backdrop to its propulsive sound desigg, is aimed at celebrating the life of the boy who was.
