REVIEWS:
"Illiteracy and the high price it exacts on those who can't read as well as their loved ones is the theme of Jose Cruz Gonzalez's thoughtful, one-hour family drama... Salt & Pepper certainly has a timely theme that should ensure interest from youth theaters all over the country."

Salt can barely read, and Pepper, his new friend, reads voraciously. Together they discover a past, the secrets of which are revealed in an old box of mysterious postcards. This play was presented at the Kennedy Center's New Visions/New Voices Program and had its premiere at Childsplay in Tempe, Arizona.
