Into the Side of a Hill

The world premiere of Into the Side of a Hill by James Anthony Tyler (Some Old Black Man) and directed and choreographed by Ken-Matt Martin (Fences and The Piano Lesson) is a high-energy, fast paced play that takes place at a historically black university in 2004, where six fraternity brothers rehearse for a homecoming step show. As they rehearse, mental illness, toxic masculinity, and war bring all the young men into battle with each other, and their brotherhood is tested. The production was developed in Flint Rep’s 2022 New Works Festival and produced in association with Arkansas Repertory Theatre.
