WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Culture Project presents the world premiere of Till The Break of Dawn, a new play written and directed by Hip-Hop theater icon Danny Hoch.

In what may well be the first epic and seminal work of Hip-Hop generation dramatic literature, Till The Break of Dawn is the first commercial production of Hip-Hop in straight-play form, from one of the pioneers of the field.

In the play, Gibran, an internet hip-hop activist, leads a group of his New York friends on a trip to Havana to attend a festival.

The trip is organized by Gibran (Jaymes Jorsling), an African-American Internet activist, who invites along his grad school buddy Robert (Johnny Sanchez) a[...]
