Description
"FIREPOWER has enough explosive material in its arsenal for half a dozen plays."
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
"FIREPOWER…explores the challenge of trust, honesty, respect, and love through the reunion of two generations of African American men."
Yuko Kurahashi, San Diego Free Press
Kermit Frazier is one of the most underrated, under-the-radar African American playwrights of his generation… [His] plays are both lyrical and richly theatrical. And while they typically deal unflinchingly with the landscape of African American life and the socio-political issues of that life, the scope of his work ranges far beyond that culture.
Woodie King, Jr, Producing Director, New Federal Theatre
