PRAISE FOR "DIE LAUGHING", as posted in the NY Times last April:

"Marq Overton created a deeply
troubled and intensely conflicted
character in “Die Laughing,” and
Reginald L. Barnes’ presentation of
Michael Laurence displayed every bit
of that conflict, and then some."

"Barnes singing
'American Oman' is
worth the price of
admission
alone."--Joe Land

"Watching Barnes jump from serious to funny to
heart-gripping (the scene where he has the
"come-to-Jesus" with God is one of those rare
raw performances that audiences wish for, yet
rarely get to witness) is a treat"--kitchen sofa, ink

"Good theater entertains. Great
theater entertains and makes us
think. Marq Overton and Reginald L.
Barnes most definitely have given
us GREAT theater."--NY Times
