Custom Made Theatre Extends HOODED, OR BEING BLACK FOR DUMMIES
By: Stephi Wild
Marquis and Tru are both fourteen-year old African-American boys, but they exist in two totally different worlds. Marquis is a book smart prep-schooler living in the affluent suburb of Achievement Heights; while Tru is a street savvy kid from deep within the inner city of Baltimore. Their worlds overlap one day in a holding cell. Tru decides that Marquis has lost his "blackness" and pens a how-to manual entitled "Being Black for Dummies", as they navigate a world of cheerleaders, Black Lives Matter, 2Pac, Nietzsche, Apollo, and Dionysus-each vying for Marquis' future.
Runs: March 8-April 7, 2018. Thurs-Sat 8:00 pm, Saturday matinees March 24, 31 & April 7 at 2:00pm
