Review: This play explores the idiosyncrasies and contradictions of colorism in the Black community.
If you feel abuzz at the end of the world premiere of “In the Upper Room” at the Denver Center, it’s likely because you’ve been a mightily absorbed fly on the wall of the Berry household for a couple of hours.“In the Upper Room.” Written by Beaufield Berry. Directed by Gregg T. Daniel. Featuring Matthew Hancock, Monnae Michaell, Sydney Cole Alexander, Levy Lee Simon, Yvette Monique Clark, Chavez Ravine, Courtney A. Vinson and Kayla King.
Portrayed by Chavez Ravine, Rose has the haughty demeanor befitting a family matriarch, more intimidating than nurturing. When she descends from the room of the play’s title, activity tends to grow hushed if not outright cease. As imposing as she is, she spends an inordinate amount of time in front of her vanity dresser.
The answers — for there isn’t a simple one — make for witty and wise exploration of the idiosyncrasies and contradictions of colorism in the Black community.
