A Review of Adira Dela Croix 6.0 - A Short Play Written by Anthony R Page

A Review of Adira Dela Croix 6.0 by Edward Fairley III (Originally published in The Clayton State University Campus Newspaper) In a world full of stories about the struggle of the average African American to find their place in a country that doesn't see them, Adira Dela Croix 6.0 opts to take a much more unique approach by flipping the coin.  Set in the future in 2096, we come to see a world where Texas has become a separate country, there are colonies on the moon in desperate need of resources, and the most pressing social issue on the table is that of "machine rights".  The Cast of Adira Dela Croix 6.0 (L-R) Dante Sellers, Devin A. Shaw, and Tatiyana Mixon. Our eye into one side of this issue is Denton Dela Croix, a tribal leader (according to the bio) who has found himself falling in love with his android assistant Adira.

So for a long time, I have been wanting to go deeper into “that” and explore those possibilities. That time is now..."  ~ Anthony R Page ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With the creation of Studio Blue, we are looking for actors and aspiring actors to be a part of our inaugural class. In the class, we are taking more of a conservatory approach versus a class or workshop approach. Therefore, each session will be conducted in 60-90 day cycles.  For Phase 1, the weekly classes will be much longer than usual (6 – 9 hours) and will be abstract, immersive, and unorthodox. Each intensive class will challenge actors emotionally, mentally, and physic...
