NEW! Victor Woo review:
"Giving strong performances are actors McKinley Belcher III and Nedra McClyde
McClyde's soulful "Not Alone" drives home universal themes
of not fitting in and being an outsider.
They sing beautifully in quite a few numbers"

JULY 16 - AUG 4
Nedra as ALYA in "I Am Not a Chimpanzee"
by Michael Stockman, dir. Douglas S. Hall
Midtown International Theatre Festival
CLOSED!
Thanks to all who came to see the show.
Review:
"Ayla [Nedra McClyde], costumed in a bright yellow tank top and incredibly short shorts,
arrives with her own set of issues:
this is her last job before taking off to Jamaica to get a handle on her own life.
Her arrival on the scene provides a burst of sunshine into an otherwise gloomy environment...
Ayla is the spirit this couple and this show needs.
She is voluptuous, sure, and her figure alone is enough to destroy a thousand marriages...
her unfettered joy acts as the perfect foil"
- Robert Weinstein, nytheatre.com
