REVIEW: https://atlantaintownpaper.com/2019/06/theatre-review-hands-of-color-at-synchronicity-theatre/
"All five actors are superb; they’re not only extremely talented, but they are committed to their roles...Ms. Williams, Mr. King, Mr. Walker, and
Ms. Kleypas are virtually flawless, directed with panache and subtlety by Mr. Jones" - Manning Harris, Atlanta INTown Review
