Review: Citizens Market at City Theatre

Pittsburgh City Paper | By Alex Gordon
March 21, 2018

“It’s a nuanced story with no shortage of humor, verbal jabs, racial tension and ambiguous characters.”

Review: Citizens Market

Pittsburgh in the Round | By Yvonne Hudson

“For all the laughter and tears sprinkled throughout Citizens Market, there’s no sugar coating here. Thomas reminds us that all that Americans are never ‘from here’–regardless how long your family has ‘been here.’”

Stage review: Moving immigrant stories propel world premiere of 'Citizens Market'

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | By Sharon Eberson

“The moving, funny and ultimately uplifting work offers a peek on the other side of the counter, into the break room and upstairs manager’s office, where the American Dream is tantalizingly within reach one moment, and elusive the next.”

City Theatre puts new play 'Citizens Market' on the map

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | By Sharon Eberson
March 1,  2018

“Our human instinct is to band together and to help, and do better by each other, and try to create a village wherever you go, even if you are a fish out of water… And that’s the thing that really appealed to me. This ‘Citizens Market’ is Akosua’s version of the village that she’s trying to create.” – Ngozi Anyanwu
