Press Reviews

"John Buffalo Mailer's HELLO HERMAN is a powerful and important work, a darkly brilliant tone poem about America's tango with violence and fame. Herman will get under your skin. He may even follow you home. What is certain is you won't soon forget him. Go see HELLO HERMAN.“ —Sam Kashner, Vanity Fair. ”HELLO HERMAN is what theater is supposed to be: relevant, powerful and fearless. I walked away thinking about the state of our country, the state of our youth, the state of our media, and the twisted glitz and cheap plastic that is (barely) holding together the blood and guts of the American condition. HELLO HERMAN needs to be seen in high schools, colleges, community theaters, and on street corners across this country. It needs to be held up as a mirror so that we see what we've become—a society that possesses so much potential, but like the wasted youth in the play, is sentencing itself to death before it ever even started to live."

— Jason Flores Williams
