"Charlayne Henry Productions did it again. As usual, Henry brings real life situations to the stage. This time the talented writer, producer, actress and singer chose to showcase the cat fights, jealousy and unity that is commonplace in African-American churches."

"Multi-talented Director/Producer Charlayne Henry did a terrific job of music, lyrics and arrangements.  It was obvious that she put her heart and soul into the music selections when you heard the lyrics."
