I had the most captivating experience last night where I laughed and was moved to tears. Ms. Fanni Green and Mr. Jim Wicker take you on a journey. Wonderful! – Nathalie Hostin
Yellowman was an acting Tour de Force. An uncomfortable, challenging and strangely compelling script that tells it's story with a more direct immediacy than many plays. Both actors are more than up to the task and give stunning performances switching fluidly through their roles. This is the type of material and performances you expect from Jobsite! – David Hood

"Sometimes I worry about the state of American theater. But if Yellowman is possible, we're much better off than I feared. The subject may be uncomfortable; but the treatment is sublime.... 5 stars." – Creative Loafing
"Jim Wicker and Fanni Green, directed by Karla Hartley, are riveting as childhood friends who become lovers, despite differences in skin color and socioeconomic class." – St. Pete Times
"Intense, engaging and unforgettable.... It has been quite some time since I've since acting of this caliber in the Tampa Bay area." – OnStageTampa
