"Furious and incandescent... Harris writes so blisteringly that the actors could just let the language's flames carry them along." - Helen Shaw, Time Out New York on Is God IsAn explosive epic that examines the cyclical nature of violence, Is God Is follows twin sisters who undertake a dangerous journey to exact revenge upon their father at the behest of their dying mother."Aleshea Harris turns theater into a monument, ephemeral but real, to ongoing pain. You can't tear down a statue that never shows up outside." - Vinson Cunningham, New Yorker on What to Send Up... What to Send Up When It Goes Down is a play-pageant-ritual response to anti-Blackness in America. It is a challenge to us to heal through expression, expulsion, and movement.
