What’s Best For The Children

by Idris Goodwin

A  World Premiere 

April 10th - 28th, 2024

"Goodwin’s play ... is hip (including actual hip-hop musical performances), a little interactive... humorous but scary – like a canary in a coalmine warning about where our society is headed." 

- Mindy Leaf, South Florida Theater Magazine 

 

" ...the kind of theater that makes you think, question, and consider potential solutions...it hilariously skewers the system and serves as a warning..." 

- Mariah Reed,  Florida Theater On Stage
