Liberation

As part of WaterTower Theatre's Out of the Loop Fringe Festival, Liberation, presented by Black Artists Collective, running for two performances, is reminiscent of the dozens of two-person, five-minute showcases presented in order to find an agent. It features two housewives chatting across a table, one a stereotypical white superwoman so busy with her all-consuming duties as mother and career woman, she is too tired to have any time for her husband and wonders why her marriage is falling apart. Her grounded black friend explains to her, in graphic terms, what men want from their wives. This scene runs 25 minutes too long and would have been even more tedious if not for the comedic talents of Jerrica Roy.
