WHAT WE LOOK LIKE

by B.J. Tindal
directed by Darius J. Stubbs
April 21 - May 14, 2023
World Premiere

8:00pm Performance

Both hilarious and poignant, WHAT WE LOOK LIKE is the story of the Hodges - a black family that has recently moved to a suburban white neighborhood. When the youngest son is asked to draw a family portrait at school, he creates an imaginary white family and the Hodges are thrown into a spiral. Playwright BJ Tindal says, “It’s about images of family and how race intersects with that and the pressures it puts on family units.”


I’m ready for my family to be my family again.
Not the mess that we’ve been since moving here.
I’m ready for them to see what we really look like.”

— Jean, “What We Look Like”
