Dance Like There's Black People Watching Reviews

Washington Post- Recommended

"...The latest example of the Second City’s D.C.-centric programming is “Dance Like There’s Black People Watching,” a defiantly upbeat, occasionally uproarious mixtape of comedy sketches and aerobic dance breaks in the tradition of “In Living Color.” After a doom-and-gloom prologue, with six Black improvisers appearing in porcelain-hued theatrical masks while a recorded voice announces, “I had a nightmare that a xenophobic, racist, tiny-handed crook was elected president of these United States,” the show banishes dismay and steps on the gas."

DC Theater Arts- Recommended

"...Dance Like There’s Black People Watching a show in which you are constantly unsure whether you want to laugh or cringe, then find yourself suddenly, unexpectedly screaming with laughter. I screamed more than once over some outrageous or provocative statement or situation."

MD Theatre Guide- Highly Recommended
