What I liked

Going on the journey of this young person discovering what it means to be black and who he, specifically, is within those social confines. It’s a moving and entertaining experience.

I also enjoyed the simplicity of the tech and the smoothness of the transitions. It flowed very well from segment to segment – from character to character. And the characters were all well defined and fun to watch!

What I didn't like

My overall impression

Moving coming of age story presented by a skillful and compelling performer. Cooper’s character work is excellent, and his earnestness is irresistible. Definitely worth adding to your Fringe schedule!!
