HOW WE GOT ON | Idris Goodwin
“What Goodwin builds here, with the sensitive assistance of McLeod and her admirably in sync cast, is both a nostalgic snapshot of a cultural phenomenon about to go mainstream in a big way, and of kids who know that they've got something to say — if only they can weave together the beats and the words that will get the world to listen.” -Chicago Tribune
“…as resourceful as it is soulful, as it is truthful, as it is wonderful….Heady, dense lyricism balancing street-ready braggadocio to create a truly unstoppable force….a play that speaks to a good many of the eternal truths of youth but is also firmly and unapologetically rooted in a culture that many parts of our country still choose not to respect.” -Newcity Stage
“a poetic firework” -Chicago Theatre Review
