Blue Door, World Premiere, South Coast Rep (2006)
Cast: Larry Gilliard, Jr. (Simon/Rex/Jesse) & Reg E. Cathey (Lewis)

An interesting one-act play. The cast is great and parts of the play are very interesting. As long as Blue Door is at South Coast Rep, I'd recommend checking it out, since the cast is great and without them, I'm not sure the story would be as interesting. Two men playing 4 characters in a one act play

Much to my husband's disappointment, there was no blue door on stage. The stage had a few windows from time to time, but the blue door was only symbolized by lights. Lewis learns all about the history of his family from his ancestors and brother, all played by Larry Gilliard, Jr. amazingly well. Lewis goes through a journey of learning about his past and the horrible things that happened to his ancestors so he can come to terms with what it means to him to be a black man in his life.

Grade: C+
