Who says theater’s not cool? (Okay, lots of people, but they’re not always right.) The Hip Hop Theater Festival is back with more theater that doesn’t look like the stuff your Gramma likes (unless she’s a rappin’ Granny). Read on:
 
Fresh off its Chicago & Bay Area runs, June 2006 marks HHTF’s 6th Season in New York City, featuring the NY premier of the critically acclaimed Live from the Front starring Jerry Quickley and directed by Tony Award winner reg e. gaines. This year’s Festival also features the US Premiere of Brazilian B-Boy Frank Ejara in his work Som do Movimento. This year also marks HHTF’s first year at the Public Theatre, where the Festival will continue to bring the best and brightest of multi-disciplinary theater from the Hip-Hop Generation.
