Black Boy Joy Reviews
Windy City Times- Recommended
"...In general Stafford tends to play the more laid-back characters ( his Carson lives up to his self-description of sounding "like a ghost who is slowly learning English" ), while Middleton's characters exhibit more overt emotionality-from an overenthusiastic mother at a spelling bee to a murderous robot. But the real joy here comes from seeing the interplay between the two, who know how to support each other and listen. That generosity and easy confidence carries Black Boy Joy through even the weaker material with an abundance of spirit and smarts."
