Lynch is a pillar of strength."

“It was the first time I remembered having a narrator of color — a girl that was like me, my same skin complexion,” she said. “She wasn’t the sidekick to a Caucasian character. She wasn’t somebody else’s best friend. She was the main character and the main voice.” [Says Nicolette] |
“Pia’s play not only educates me about a city I thought I knew, but it also serves as a mirror showcasing issues that we are still encountering 50 years after the rebellion, both on a local and national level,” said Nicolette Lynch, an actress with the Yendor Theatre Company. |
