Reviews are IN:: No Child... is a hit!

The audiences and critics agree-- No Child... is an evening that leaves you "pumped. . . (hey, there's a reason 'Rocky' works)."

"[chandra] thomas becomes the vivacious and passionate teacher, called Miss Sun, as well as many of the students. She is brilliant in creating the teacher, using a warm, naturalistic style. Her ability to bounce among three or four different characters and to carry on lucid conversations among them is equally impressive. Lithe and athletic, thomas introduces a vital physicality to the performance that blends dance and mime into the presentation."
~ Tom Butler, Courier Post

"And it's a wild ride, with chandra thomas (yes, she has dispensed with capital letters) and Kevin Ramsey playing all 15 roles listed in the program - at times, changing characters line by line, in fully developed, never-confusing portrayals. The two work like crazy to bring this off, in performances often involving movement that approaches choreography. Watching them is worth the evening."
~ Howard Shapiro, The Philadelphia Inquirer
