LA Weekly's Review of AM I BLACK ENOUGH YET?
June 21, 2011“The only way to heal this country’s sad racial divide…is to cross it!”
No matter who you are, or where you come from, for one night you get to be African American in this touching, thoughtful, and hysterically funny look at the state of Blackness in America.
From The LA Weekly: “Playwright Clinton Johnston’s piece humorously explores what it means to be black in America today. Casting aside the burdensome moorings of political correctness, five actors (Nika Williams, J. Patrick Wise, Matthew Eisenberg, Katherine DuBois, and Kenny Cooper) adroitly work through ten vignettes that lampoon everything from ghetto slang to diversity run amok and even homophobia. It makes for a hilarious, thought-provoking, and sometimes unsettling 85-minutes.”
