#Repost from our friend Imran Sheikh who plays Usman in ‘American Dreams’ which will be streaming 11/10-11/15 for MTC!! Feels pretty awesome to have this West Coast Digital Debut reviewed in the The New York Times This review came out a couple weeks ago and I've hesitated to make a post about it (I have shared castmates' posts). Y'all. I just couldn't find the words. ... I still can't. This is still not real to me. Being in the friggin' paper of record... it goes beyond my comprehension. This will live on, far beyond me. How can I comprehend something that extends well beyond my lifetime? What I can say, what meager words I can cobble together, is that I'm extremely grateful, honored, and, frankly, privileged to have my name along side those immense luminaries you'll find listed therein. My eternal gratitude goes to Leila Buck & Tamilla Woodard. Without those two, this would not be, and I would not be there touching what is beyond words and beyond time. We are doing some damn good work. This play is something we all need now. I invite you to come experience it.

Thanks to everyone for tuning in this weekend!
