Stage Aurora premiered in NY with Darryl Reuben Hall's The Dinner in the 2015 Midtown International Theatre Festival to rave reviews: "The Dinner comes at a time when the nation is facing headlines of police brutality, the confederate flag, and re-evaluating race. This piece invokes deep thinking and a well-needed, important conversation on race in America. With many historical shows making their way to the Broadway stage, such as Hamilton and Amazing Grace, The Dinner could potentially fit into this trend, and shine."-Brooke Clariday, Theatre Reviews Limited
