Howard Miller takes a look at Hooded; Or Being Black for Dummies from Undiscovered Works at 59E59 Theaters:
"There is no set way to be Black or to act Black," quoting one of the characters and setting the tone for Tearrance Arvelle Chisholm's altogether terrific satire Hooded; Or Being Black for Dummies, opening tonight at 59E59 Theaters. The play, a production of the aptly named Undiscovered Works (because this one really does deserve to be discovered by a wide audience), takes us on a smartly crafted journey from cartoonish comedy to realistic drama and beyond, through to a disturbing and powerful ending that borders on surrealism. |
