As the one on the run as a nun, Khadijah Rolle is the class act around which SISTER ACT revolves.

Full of verve with a powerhouse voice to match, Rolle brings a more balanced and less flamboyant interpretation to her role than audiences may be used to...and it's just right.

BWW Review: THE WEDDING SINGER at DESERT STAGES THEATRE Parties Like It's 1986
by Nathaniel Jones - July 21, 2019
When you think of a group of young performers doing a musical, most people enter with the assumption of low quality and newbie type talent. This largely stems from the mindset of not believing young folks can put in the same hard work as any other seasoned professional. However, when you take a group of hard-working individuals, like the ones I was given the opportunity to see, and pair them with extremely talented leadership, you find yourself with a recipe for greatness. Desert Stages production of The Wedding Singer is a prime example of why we should hold our young actors to higher expectations and treat them like the professionals they strive to be.

Joseph McGrath, Artistic Director of Tucson's Rogue Theatre
by Jeanmarie Simpson - July 10, 2019

Our challenge, I suppose, is to be adaptive to what comes along without giving up the wisdom and glories of the past.
