Writer/composer @dahlak_leon and @ucancallmesis are continuing the collaboration they began on the National Tour of Oklahoma! by intentionally making theatre accessible and ensuring the house represents what’s on the stage. We are honored to invite you to experience this important work.
Break a leg to all our BAC friends at @utrfestival and @apap365 this week. And DO NOT miss @dahlak_leon ’s @trysteptrip .
Try/Step/Trip follows the journey of a music man as he re-imagines his experience in a court-ordered drug rehabilitation program. It is a rite of passage orchestrated to save one of the justice system’s newest inductees from the ultimate plight of criminalization: to be remade in the image of its judgment. Ancestors are conjured through step, and archetypes are sampled from pop culture and folklore, all to guide a familiar young Black man in his unique search for redemption and self-definition.
Try/Step/Trip x @nytimes - Family Matters-style! Don’t miss Try/Step/Trip’s first performance tonight. Click the link in bio for tickets.
