HYPE MAN: a break beat play
A World Premiere by Idris Goodwin
Directed by Shawn LaCount
January 26 - February 24, 2018 | Boston Center for the Arts
#MicDropWithC1
Frontman Pinnacle and his hype man Verb have been making Hip-Hop together since they were kids. Now that they’ve got top-notch beatmaker Peep One in the mix, the group is finally on the
verge of making it big—until the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager shakes the trio to its core, and forces them to navigate issues of friendship, race, and privilege. The latest from break beat poet and playwright Idris Goodwin (How We Got On), HYPE MAN asks us: who has the responsibility to speak up in the face of social injustice?
WIG OUT!
A Boston Premiere by Tarell Alvin McCraney (Moonlight, BRO/SIS Plays)
Directed by Summer L. Williams
In Partnership with A.R.T.’s OBERON
April 27 - May 13, 2018 | OBERON
#VogueWithC1
Enter the fabulous world of competitive Ballroom drag in WIG OUT!, a dazzling play about the desire to be desired, find your home, and out-walk the competition. While opposing Houses prepare for the catwalk showdown of the year, friendships are forged, loyalty is tested, and lovers are lured and lost. Sizzling with sincerity and style, and fueled by a Destiny’s Child-filled playlist, this exhilarating new work by the writer of the cinematic sensation Moonlight brings a riotous, defiant drag queen sub-culture of the early 2000s to glorious, vivid life.

Weeds are a given in the heart of Philly, but when a giant dandelion sprouts overnight and wishes start falling from the sky, a young man and his family begin to see a way out of the cycle of poverty that has governed their lives. Refusing to feel like the city's leftovers any longer, the two brothers embark on an adventure they never could have imagined.
