Presented with support from Hi-Arts

Cutting their teeth during the golden age of Hip Hop in cyphers, poetry slams and battles, multi-award winning playwrights and performers Toni Blackman, Nsangou Njikam and Will Power have rocked the mic and moved the needle on issues central to liberation and community. This powerful trifecta of carriers of the culture have created solo and ensemble work for the theater and move fluidly from stage to lecture hall to community center to prison day room using their voices and platforms to instigate shifts. Come hear from three of the brightest theater makers of today and experience a mini performance from their new work(s).
