Stage review: Actress gets real about family life in a library

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: “Feeding the Dragon” could be the title of a medieval epic or an episode of “Game of Thrones.” It’s fanciful and adventurous with an element of danger, not unlike the real-life story of a little girl who lived in a library.

Accomplished actress Sharon Washington was that little girl whose life was all those things, some fueled by the many books at her fingertips, some by family, some by what it was like to be an 11-year-old African-American making her way through New York City in the 1970s.
