Praise for PPI

“Praize Productions Inc. has a history of creating award-winning productions, and Smells Like Freedom is sure to be another addition to their history of excellence … For Smells Like Freedom, Reesie has gathered a high caliber group of artists to bring her latest vision to the stage at University of Chicago’s Logan Center for a one-night only show.” Kristi Licera/Dancer Music
“The focal point of the performance was definitely dance, but it also included visual art, a live band, singing, and spoken word to create a well-rounded experience.” Katherine Newman/Chicago Citizen
“This theatrical assembly combines dance, spoken word, music, and visual arts, to tell stories of liberation, connecting the past and present, while moving into a more purposeful future.” Tony Binns/Rolling Out
