At the age of 14 Hutchinson relocated to the Short Hills section of Millburn, New Jersey to attend Kent Place School.

Because her education was not exploring theatre by Black writers, Hutchinson felt compelled to create her own work.

But if change doesn’t happen it won’t be for my lack of trying, even if all I have to offer is words.

[5] Hutchinson's play She Likes Girls centers around a young lesbian couple at an inter-city high school.

This play and the topics it deals with would lead her to receive a GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) Award.

Not only did the play win this award but it received positive reviews throughout its run in New York City.
