I have directed at least 3 plays for Is Said. Hes a dynamic writer and I enjoyed puttinghis words in motion on stage. His plays that I have directed have included poetry, danceand music which make them very unique in their delivery to the audiences. Is Said haswritten about very important topics of today including all ages and facets of life. Fromhomelessness, drug abuse, spirituality has been some items his plays have introduced tothe community in a very unique way. It was been a pleasure and privilege to put his wordsand work on stage.

I feel that a GOOD book should be able to whisk you away to another world, as well asmake you feel that youre part of that world. That is what Bro. Is Saids books do. You findyourself talking out loud to the characters. His plays draw you in, and make you feel thatyoure in their world!
