For colored girls my directorial debut!

I'm so excited about seeing the end results this Friday. I was asked to direct 4 large scenes from For Colored Girls,  I chose 7 wonderfully talented young ladies from the Allstars Summer Youth on Stage program at the Allstars Castillo theater. I brought in a great choreographer Mr. David Riddick owner of Beauty 4 Ashes Dance Company to add an interpretive dance and I added Gone to soon by MJ that opens the show. I'm certain the girls will be phenomenal they have been working very hard. Will add photos later to this post.

Othello: The Panther - My role as Emilia Iago's Wife

 Received a great review from the The Villager on my Role as Emilia - " That much is said, and more, in a frank discussion between Desdemona and Iago’s love, Emilia (Kubbi, in a particularly nuanced performance). It’s one of the play’s best scenes, with Emilia lashing out at the “childish jealousies” that are wreaking havoc with group cohesion and domestic tranquility. “Husbands must know,” she warns, that “their wives are human too: they see and smell and have all kinds of tastes for sweet and sour, as husbands have.” BY SCOTT STIFFLER  http://thevillager.com/2014/02/06/its-a-love-revolution/

My second great review came from The New York Theater Review "Kubbi is a crowd-pleaser as Amelia who, in her multitude of wigs, offers Desdemona street knowledge and feminism from a Black woman’s perspective." by Aurin Squire
