←Recommendations of Black Super Hero Magic Mama

There is a reason why this is one of the most reviewed plays on NPX. It is THAT good. It is funny, it is sharp, it is powerful, it is real, and it makes me ache and empathize so deeply I can hardly sit still. You genuinely LOVE these characters--and it only takes Craig-Galván a page to get you to love them. They are so deeply real. This play really makes you think. Behind hashtags and movements are just people--sometimes they are remarkable brave beacons, but at the end of the day, they are just people. Highly recommended.

Craig-Galván has readers think twice about the undue burden we place on those who are grieving to be champions for change, especially when change seems impossible. How do we allow personal space for dealing with loss when it's part of a pattern of injustice?

When you ask yourself what an important piece of work looks like, THIS IS HOW! Craig-Galvan goes straight for the heart, and then leaves with your brain. I'm amazed!

This play needs to be produced everywhere. I can't begin to put into words how this play touched me and I have a feeling it's going to stay with me for quite awhile. Inda is definitely a playwright to keep an eye out for.

Stunning. This play gutted me.

At turns funny and heartbreaking, BSHMM is a beautiful, timely play about coping in the face of reality-shattering loss. I'm so excited to see this play's trajectory.

BSHMM is one of those plays you can't wait to place in the hands of the next reader. This is a play for right now, and it's a play for future generations, and one of the most magical truths about this play (and there are MANY) is that it is accessible. This is a play that opens its door wide for any audience, which is so important because it doesn't shy away from what needs to be said. A play about trauma and race and love and heartbreak, this play soars.

Contextualzing the very real moment in American society through the pop culture lens so many of us retreat through Galvan uses theatre to create true empathy in the stark contrast between play and reality. Program this show now.
Let your designers have fun and let your audiences share the reality of too many Black Super Hero Magic Mamas.

Craig-Galván explores this difficult material with deep sensitivity and much needed humor. This play is imaginative, heartfelt and thoroughly entertaining.

I had the pleasure of seeing a developmental reading of this play at Texas State University last year during the Black and Latino Playwright's Conference. The reading was powerful, the described theatricality of the piece was incredibly vivid, and I can't wait to see a full blown production of this play. It's fantastic, timely, poignant, funny, and gripping.
