WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Actor's Rap!, written, produced, and directed by Obie Award winner J Kyle Manzay, is an outrageous new comedy. The hip-hop infused comedy, where pop culture meets satire, examines the downward spiral of an African-American actor who begins to lose roles - and a girlfriend - to a famous rapper-turned-actor.
Fed up, the play's protagonist takes matters into his own hands hatching a plan to kidnap his rival (the rapper) by calling upon his classically trained actor buddies to help him pull off the caper. What ensues next is a hilarious sequence of events sure to leave audiences in stitches.
