MORE LOVE FOR RADICAL:

“STAGE RAW TOP 10… COMPELLING, RELATABLE… A CHARACTER-DRIVEN PLAY THAT OFFERS PERSUASIVE PORTRAITS OF THREE TROUBLED WOMEN, WHILE ALSO HIGHLIGHTING THE INTRICACIES AND AMBIVALENCES THAT SO OFTEN CHARACTERIZE THE BOND BETWEEN SIBLINGS… RECOMMENDED.”

DEBORAH KLUGMAN, STAGE RAW

“RIVETING… [AN] EXTRAORDINARILY STRONG ENSEMBLE CAST… BRISTLES AND MOVES AT FRENETIC SPEED WHILE ALSO TAKING ITS TIME DURING MOMENTS OF GRAVITAS AND VULNERABILITY...  THIS IS THE TYPE OF ART I ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO SEE.”

EDWARD HONG, THE NERDS OF COLOR

“TIMELY… [ACTORS] RAMOS, LAMADRID, AND GRIFFIN GIVE THEIR ALL IN THIS TALE OF CULTURAL CONFLICT, FAMILY ESTRANGEMENT, AND DESPERATE LONELINESS… WILL APPEAL TO AUDIENCE MEMBERS WHO STRIVE TO UNDERSTAND CULTURE CLASHES – AND HOW RADICALIZATION CAN HAPPEN TO PEOPLE JUST BELOW THEIR LEVEL OF AWARENESS.”

ELAINE MURA, SPLASH MAGAZINES

“POWERFUL… RELATABLE TO ALL AND SPECIFICALLY, PAINFULLY RECOGNIZABLE TO MANY… A SUSTAINED EMOTIONAL RIDE FOR THE AUDIENCE AS THE STORY UNFOLDS.”

CAROL EDGER GERMAIN, COLORADO BOULEVARD

“PASSIONATE…  EXPLORES THE POLITICAL SIDES OF DIFFERENT PARTIES BY PULLING TWO SISTERS APART.”

AMALISHA HUECK, DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD


ABOUT THE SHOW

Belinda (Elizabeth Ramos) has done something bad. Very, very bad. After being bailed out of jail by her estranged sister, Rosalie (Anna LaMadrid), she must reconcile the person she was with the person she feels she's destined to become — that is, with the help of new friend Erica (Kim Griffin). RADICAL or, are you gonna miss me? tells the sweeping story of three women on the Mexican-American border who, more than anything, desperately want to be seen. And who will do anything in their power to make themselves known, no matter how great the cost.

RADICAL runs for 90 minutes, without intermission.
