"Returning for its sixth year, the Hip-Hop Theater Festival arrives this summer with an exhilarating plethora of performance, dance and poetry. The Festival continues to engage Hip-Hop generation artists from in and outside Washington, DC in a dynamic mix of developing and established works. Highlights include: Jerry Quickley’s Live from the Front about a B-boy in Baghdad at the start of the war and J. Kyle Manzay’s The Actor’s Rap!, a comedy about a group of frustrated actors who take matters into their own hands as rappers relentlessly steal their roles in film and theater. Local playwrights and performers include Holly Bass; Bashi Rose; Hueman Prophets, Goldie Patrick and poets from Sol y Soul. And thanks to the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, The Hip-Hop Theater Festival is proud to present all events free of charge."
