Review: South Coast Repertory Presents West Coast Debut of FREMONT AVE.

Beautifully acted, engagingly riveting, and populated with impactful characters, Reggie D. White's thoughtfully sprawling and emotionally layered new play—directed by Lili-Anne Brown—delivers an ambitious, deeply affecting examination of generational legacy, Black identity, masculinity, and the elusive pursuit of emotional healing. Set almost entirely within the walls of a suburban home in Southern California, the touching, and, often times, quite humorous play unfolds across multiple decades, chronicling the intersecting lives of three generations of African-American men connected not only by blood, but by inherited silence, buried resentment, generational trauma, and a complicated yearning for deep connection.

Review: FREMONT AVE. at Arena Stage

The play Fremont Ave., which is now at the Kreeger Theater at the Arena Stage, is an interesting attempt to show the healing effects of intergenerational family bonds. The playwright, Reggie D. White, has attempted to convey a multitude of  themes and moods as affects the Plique family as they live their lives in a southern California  suburb from 1968 until the 2020’s. As the characters in the play confront their dreams, ambitions, and fears the audience reacted with such interactive yelling and talking back to the stage that the play certainly evoked much response –so much response that I was unable to hear the lines at many times.
