Parental Advisory: a breakbeat play

Regional
Play with Music


SYNOPSIS:

In this high-energy World Premiere by award-winning playwright Idris Goodwin (HBO’s Def Poetry Jam), two Hip-Hop artists mix slick beats and rhymes with important questions about parenthood and expression in popular music. This new play – half DJ jam session, half TED Talk – uses live music, humor and a bit of modern pop culture history to explore what it’s like being a father and the important choices we make for our families. Through an innovative style of storytelling, this play asks: at what age is it appropriate to introduce our children to the uncertainties of life – however controversial they may be.



Directed by Kyle Haden
