Because I waited too long and saw the next to last performance, I denied myself the opportunity to insist
that my friends see the remarkable and moving performance by the omni present, multi talented B. Stanley. Bravo B!
An amazing tour de force, wonderfully staged in his
DCAC Space.
I saw Vincent Sat. night — it was fabulous! The moment B Stanley walked on stage as Theo, I was completely mesmerized and feeling all the pain and love Theo was feeling for his brother.
