“ In MASKING OUR BLACKNESS, Vincent Terrell Durham presents one of the most powerful plays I've read about racism and white privilege. The manner in which he navigates such a nightmarish comedy, drama, and horror is exceptional and makes this play incredibly unique and urgent in its themes. Produce this play! ”

“ This short play is fantastic. The dialogue is smart and fast and I was giggling along as I read, but the comedy kept getting darker and darker and darker, and eventually I stopped laughing. When pundits talk about theater's unique ability to teach and reach people, "Masking Our Blackness" is the kind of play they're talking about it. This one stays with you. ”

“ OK, I was laughing out loud by the line "Since when do security guards measure your inseam?", but was unprepared for where this play was gonna go, and how far. What starts as a naturalistic (and charming as hell) party scene takes one carefully-calibrated turn after another until we're in full-on nightmare territory. Satire this savage is often righteous, but rarely is it this intelligent, emotionally grounded, and rooted in well-defined characters. Genuinely funny and genuinely sickening, Masking our Blackness left me very impressed by Mr. Durham's brain and heart. One to watch. ”

“ Absolutely gripping, at turns hilarious and harrowing, this piece resounds with wit and raw, unmitigated nightmare. We connect, and then the world's upended brilliantly - a powerful, engaging commentary on where we are, and where we've been. Read this yesterday, producer this now. This is a voice we need to be hearing from. Bravo! ”
