Photo Flash: Meet the Cast of HOODED, OR BEING BLACK FOR DUMMIES World Premiere at Mosaic Theater Company
Hooded, Or Being Black for Dummies, a World Premiere by Tearrance Arvelle Chisholm, will be directed by Serge Seiden (When January Feels Like Summer, Bad Jews) and associate directed by Vaughn Ryan Midder for Mosaic Theater Company of DC. Performances will run at the Atlas Performing Arts Center, Sprenger Theatre, January 25-February 19, 2017. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the stars in character below!
A timely, irreverent examination of growing up black in America by rising-star local playwright Tearrance Arvelle Chisholm. Marquis, a book smart prep-schooler from suburban Maryland, meets Tru, a street savvy Baltimorean, in a holding cell. Tru thinks Marquis has lost his "blackness" and pens a 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.
