Patron commnent:  “Outstanding!  This was by far one of the most moving plays my wife and I have attended at the Barter.  The depth, quality and performance will certainly last as a memorable one.  It was uncannily funny, intenselydramatic, inspirationally real and emotionally challenging.  When attending a performance that has you reflecting on the message and delivery well beyond the theatre then you’ve hit a home run, and in the experience we shared in the performance of “Power in the Blood” you undoubtedly hit a Grand Slam.  Thanks to all for a brilliant performance.”
