Evolutionary Tales

I’m excited to announce the world’s first-ever hip-hop theatre cycle, running off-Broadway May 31st to June 23rd. “Evolutionary Tales” combines three original shows that each celebrate the evolutionary view of life in its endless forms.

Visit www.evolutionarytales.com for info and tickets.

Rap Guide to Evolution, Canterbury Tales Remixed, and Ingenious Nature have all had their off-Broadway premieres as separate productions, and now they will transfer to the Player’s Theatre to run in rotation for a month, a hip-hop science and storytelling extravaganza!

My hope is that we can extend the run past June 23rd, but that will depend entirely on audience response. This is a never-before-tried experiment, and my hope is that running the three shows back to back will create a synergy with cross-pollination effects that spill over in unexpected ways. My hope is also that I can keep the three scripts separate in my head.

Another exciting bit of news is that the World Science Festival will be presenting The Rap Guide to Evolution as part of their official programming on opening weekend, at a discounted rate.

I’d like to say a special thanks to the 250 crowdfunders who helped to make this vision come to reality. Looking forward to being back in action with Mr. Simmonds on the turntables, rocking off-Broadway soon!
