What a brilliant play. Loved the way that reality is played with in this play. Loved the use of projections throughout this piece. A play about who gets to own Blackness. Loved the dynamic between Marquis and Tru. At first, adversaries that learn to like each other throughout the play. The use of the laughter sign is absolutely genius and I'd love to experience this play with an audience and see how they react to the sign. Loved how this play made me question reality. I hope to see it produced.

An incredible read, an incredible watch, and an incredible experience to perform in. I was fortunate enough to do all three and cannot say enough about the play. Hilarious, rich, harrowing, and necessary. Chisolm triumphs in this spectacular script.

I cannot wait to play "Debra" in Bloomsburg University's production of HOODED! This show is POWERFUL, IMPORTANT, and so incredibly well written, especially in the teen's dialogue. Just what we need at just the right time for the BLM movement with some great references to hip-hop legend Tupac and Philosopher Nietzsche. I cannot recommend this play enough!
