"I am still processing the wild performance of Fairview at Stray Cat Theatre last night. It was a roller coaster of humor, anger, confusion, sadness, and hopefulness. It was unlike anything I have ever experienced at the theatre before. Daring, polarizing, and thrilling af. Thank you to Stray Cat Theatre and the bold leadership for everything they have brought to our community this season. Thank you for highlighting new, diverse performers, directors, writers, and collaborators. Thank you for making SPACE in an industry that has silenced, abused, and ignored BIPOC artistry, history, and storytelling. Congratulations to director Brianna Fallon for navigating a powerful script with humor, heart, and strength. Congrats to the diverse cast and crew for knocking it out of the park! Unfaltering from start to finish. No other theatre would have dared take on such a bold feat, only Stray Cat Theatre, and our community is lucky to have your leadership in this new era of theatre for social change. I am shook. Don’t miss your opportunity to see something groundbreaking in Arizona. And prepare yourself for a nail biting finale you’ll never forget!" - ST

"After a bit of confusion and a burst of chaos, I sat in the audience toward the end of the show and here's what I'll say:
I feel seen.
As I left the theatre, I felt like I could walk a little taller; a little prouder.
That’s all I’ll say about my experience with Stray Cat Theatre's rendition of The Pulitzer-Winning Play 'Fairview' by Jackie Sibblies Drury at Tempe Center for the Arts.
Go. You see it.
Tell me how it is for you.
(Thanks Ron May for creating space)." - EK
