Fa'izah Bradford stars as “Sadie” in "Sadie's Kitchen," the upcoming stage production from Acts On Stage Theater. In a recent interview, Bradford discussed her role and the play itself, expressing her excitement to return to acting. "Sadie's kitchen is dynamic," says Bradford. "Sadie's kitchen is kind of a central point where lots of things happen." The play is set in a kitchen that serves as the backdrop for the characters' conversations, love, struggles, and challenges.

Bradford plays Sadie Smith, whom she describes as a mother, sister, and "a little big sister to her sister, Vesta." Sadie is also "an unassuming, central part of her community" who "owns and stewards her kitchen in a real powerful way." Bradford notes some similarities between herself and the character she plays. "She's a bit sarcastic," says Bradford, "I said, Sadie's a little like me." Ultimately, according to Bradford, "Sadie is love."

When asked about the cast, Bradford stated, "This is who I brag about, right?" She spoke highly of her fellow actors, the director, Isaiah Anderson, and the sense of community she felt among them. "I've been at home before the pandemic, through the pandemic, I work from home, and so I think what I didn't know that I was missing was this kind of community," Bradford said. She expressed gratitude for the hugs she receives from the cast and the creative energy of the group, many of whom are also authors and artists.

Bradford encourages everyone to come see the show, which runs from March 7th through the 10th and resumes the following weekend. "You need to go to Acts on https://actsonstage.com/ and get your tickets," she said.
