• Director of And Her Hair Went With Her by Zina Camblin

PICK : Pairing two versatile powerhouse actors -- veteran Broadway and TV star Tonya Pinkins and her younger, multicredited colleague Tracie Thoms -- elevates this enjoyable dramedy to a higher level, each scene more captivating than the preceding one. Even if some of the characters are stereotypes, Diane Rodriguez's snappily paced direction and the skills of Pinkins and Thoms make them fresh and fun. And Zina Camblin's script has a couple of unexpected moments that are endearing and memorable.
