"Its high points are exuberant, its social commentary poignant and uncompromising … Oo-Bla-Dee develops unique and compelling texture to its story."

"Performances [were] laced with emotional truth. Amber Iman’s Luna C was a cool, aloof presence, befitting one who personifies the distant moon [and] Marva Hicks as Evelyn set off sparks."

"All the other characters are portrayed quite vividly, though, with Semmes particularly good as the smart, spirited Del Sol."

"This cast [finds] the depth of their characters as we come to understand each of them beyond the brief glimpses of their lives offered during the play."

"The cast couldn't be better. They capture the humor and the drama of the story as it unfolds."

"Mathis brings us deeply back into the story when the band’s car is followed and stopped by racists late at night on a rural road. His rage over the injustice - especially when black men are in uniforms fighting for their country - is palpable."
