Mama by Terry McMillan:
"It was as rich an evening of theater as you could hope to find...In an era of big-scale productions, this stripped-down, gripping play is a valuable reminder that the art of theater does not lie in special effects, lavish sets or famous names. It lies in passion and commitment, intelligence and human emotion. Ralph E. Greene and his company proves them rich in the qualities that matter most." St. Louis Post Dispatch
Make A Joyful Noise (original production)
"...just when you need it, along comes a show like this to get you back into the spirit, when your day's pressures and problems get in the way...I'm so glad it came along "just in time" and that I was able to change my whole perspective. I hope Unity Theatre will long continue to give us this type of inspirational show..."-Intermission Magazine (St. Louis Edition)
El Hajj Malik by N. R. Davidson
"Director Ralph Greene really makes the "ensemble" live up to its name. The 10 performers fill the stage with a crackling energy that they seem to pass one to the next, like an electric shock." - St. Louis Post Dispatch
For Colored Girls by Ntozake Shange
"If you go, you'll be rewarded not only with the production's rich language and intense performances but with an audience that recognizes its life in the mirror of the stage and responds with gusto." St. Louis Riverfront Times
Tambourines To Glory by Langston Hughes
"...this moving production rocked the house with powerful gospel songs, dynamic choreography, magnificent acting and seasoned staging techniques." The ESL Monitor
A Raisin In The Sun by Lorraine Hansberry
"As Ruth and Lena Younger, Redina Medley and Bonnie M. Harmon give performances that are not only individually strong but that spark each other for added impact...they take the theater audience where it wants to go: into somebody else's world... the portrayals ring with authority...it is so rare to see the in-law relationship portrayed with affection instead of antagonism." St. Louis Post Dispatch
