Posted on 02. Jul, 2009 by janelle in socialite

A great event is beginning on Monday, July 6, 2009 - the DC Hip-Hop Theater Festival. I first read about the festival over at DC This Week. All festival programs and performances are free {yahoo!} and open to the public. Performances will take place at a variety of venues throughout the city.

The week of events kicks off with the AM Radio Live Art and Performance in association with ART UNPLUGGED at 7 p.m. at The Library Saloon. Other events include “The Voices Remix: A People’s History of the United States” with Lupe Fiasco, Michael Ealy, Walter Mosley, Regie Cabico and W. Ellington Felton as well as “Zomo the Rabbit: A Hip-Hop Creation Myth”, the first family friendly program to be included as part of the Festival.

Each year, the festival incorporates educational programs and a forum to addresses relevant issues affecting the Hip-Hop generation. This year’s topic is A Conversation on the Power of Hip-Hop Arts and Culture to Create Change. The discussion will take place on Wednesday, July 8 at noon in the Flashpoint Mead Theater Lab, located at 916 G St., NW.

Full Festival schedule can be found at www.hhtf.org.
