“Wow…his vocals and dances give us a picture of a man and his journey to establish Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.” (Elizabeth Briscoe Wilson, Retired Lincoln University Librarian)

“This piece evokes deep thinking and a well needed, important conversation on race in America. With many historical shows making their way to the Broadway stage, such as “Hamilton” and “Amazing Grace”, [Dinner with Booker T./The Dinner] could potentially fit into this trend, and shine.” (Brooke Clariday, Theatre Reviews Unlimited)
