In Philadelphia, Matthew directed two exceptional artists, facilitators, and friends in the creation of a powerful show called Magic Lagoon. This production dove deep into the complex waters of relationships across class, race, and genders. Dwight Dunston & Karen Orrick courageously explored the past, present, and future experiences of Black men and white women born in the US, delving into the profound racial legacies of slavery and the impact of patriarchy and sexism.
