Hip Hop Theater Festival

Founded in 2000, The Hip Hop Theater Festival continues to invigorate the fields of theater and Hip Hop by: nurturing the creation of innovative work within the Hip Hop aesthetic; presenting and touring American and international artists whose work addresses the issues relevant to the Hip Hop generation; and serving young, urban communities through outreach and education that celebrates contemporary language and culture.In each of its Festival cities, New York City, Washington D.C., Chicago and San Francisco, The Hip Hop Theater Festival presents live events created by artists who stretch, invent and combine a variety of theatrical forms, including theater, dance, spoken word and live music sampling. Through open submissions and aggressive curating both nationally and internationally, the Hip Hop Theater Festival is fully dedicated to finding, developing and introducing to the public new artistic creations from a diversity of cultures and points of view.
