Review: You Won’t Want ‘Puffs’ To End

Pity the background character. You know: the old guy sitting in a doorway in Cairo looking on as Indiana Jones walks by. Or the overworked bartender who hands Luke Skywalker a drink, never realizing what the fates (or the Force) have in store for the hayseed-looking kid.

The title of Nathan Alan Davis’s 2014 play “Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea” suggests its poetry, and the current production in Kalamazoo at Western Michigan University, in collaboration with Face Off Theatre Company, fully brings to fruition the promise of this gorgeous and uniquely African-American story as an embodied lyric poem.

Review: 'The Great Leap' is a Brilliant Play Exploring History Through Sports

The conceit of Lauren Yee’s 2018 play The Great Leap, currently in production at Farmers Alley Theatre in Kalamazoo, is brilliant.
