The Golden Loc

"I had the pleasure of attending a reading of this piece and I found the world-building to be rich and steeped in metaphor. Prentiss achieved that with dexterity and musicality in the dialogue. We don't have enough original fantasy pieces for young audiences, and it's a narrative genre that is so essential to the development of a love for storytelling. Kudos!" ~ Matthew Gutschick, The Rose Theatre

"Prentiss’s play is exciting and moving, with a compelling story, high stakes, and characters we deeply care about. The relationship between Zia and her mother is especially beautiful, and the world building throughout the play is remarkable." ~ Alice Eve Cohen, Playwright

"From Zia’s bedroom to the Aziza Queendom, the characters’ voices, sisterhood, and powerful magic touch the lives of all ages. It’s been an immense honor being a part of this play’s journey, and somehow making someone’s fairy Princess dreams come true. To everyone who reads this play and makes their own magic inspired by it, always remember that even when things get scary and confusing, you are powerful, you can do anything, and you are your ancestors wildest dreams!” ~ Princess Beyoncé Jones, Ayanna/Little Golden Fairy

"The BEST play I’ve ever seen in my life! Everybody should get to experience this, just beautiful!" ~ Adria, Audience Member

"Stories like this one that amplify beautiful Black voices of all shapes, shades, and sizes is exactly what the world needs. I am thankful I got to see both live shows. It was overwhelmingly beautiful for my family and I to witness my daughter be a part of that." ~ Shontia, Audience Member
