Start 2018 off right with our HYPE MAN Studio Session: part happy hour, part exploration of the rehearsal process, this is your chance to get a first look (and first listen) prior to opening night.
But HYPE MAN isn't the only new play percolating at C1 this season—our PlayLab playwrights will be in the house too, which means you'll have a chance to learn more about what it means to create brand new, vital theatre right here in Boston.
Join us at Dudley Cafe for snacks and a cash bar, followed by a sneak peek of HYPE MAN. Connect with the cast and artistic team about the story, the music, and C1's role in bringing this exciting new work to the stage for the first time.
Studio Sessions are free and open to the public, but registration is required to save your space.
About HYPE MAN:
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?
