"Art, freedom and creativity will change society faster than politics."

Welcome to Clear Day Productions

I regard the theater as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being."

"Hold your hats and hallelujah, our leading musical tragedienne offers an ultra-dramatic Rose in George C. Wolfe’s Broadway revival."

GYPSY

Read the Review

"It’s marching through it with head up, heart open, and sense of humor intact. The show is smart, witty, tuneful, and teeming with mighty performances. It can’t help having a certain amount of shadow to it: It’s gutting to hear the truths of our past while facing the present, in which the humanity and autonomy of women, nonbinary, and trans folks remain so viciously under attack."

"Well, miracles do happen, even on Broadway. The circus-themed love story, already a novel and a movie, becomes a gorgeously imaginative Broadway musical."

"Alexis Scheer’s vibrant play about four teenage girls, a Ouija board and a narco-terrorist summons the truly scary spirits that keep us awake at night."

“It seems as if there is no measure of praise that could be too much; after all, this is a show that allows a Black gay man to be vulnerable onstage without dismissing or fetishizing his trauma, desires and creative ambitions. Now that’s some radical theater.”

"It is not just the best play to open on Broadway so far this season, but also the most important."

"It’s not easy to make a hardened theater critic squirm in his seat, but I wasn’t sure I had the toughness to withstand the opening scene of “Our Dear Dead Drug Lord,” Alexis Scheer’s critically touted play about the savage secret lives of teenage girls."
