plain brilliant. Sullivan lavishes the audience with charisma to

San Francisco Bay Times |
"Take
a trip to the revolutionary spirit of a more passionate time.
San Francisco writer/performer Michael Gene Sullivan uses his
resemblance to Black Panther activist Huey P. Newton as the
springboard to a show that deftly combined personal memoir,
social history, and pointed political commentary. The result is
funny, angry, moving, and incredibly engaging. If you want a
show full of love, brains, passion, and hope, go to see this
one." (more) |

The Georgia Straight |
"Sullivan
has set forth in this engaging, intelligent, funny, and
occasionally quite moving show a thumbnail sketch of growing up
activist ... when being an activist was a good thing. Admirably
Sullivan makes this point over and over with wit, charm, and
self-deprecating grace." (more) |
