WORLD UP is proud to sponsor TIL THE BREAK OF DAWN!!...
TIL THE BREAK OF DAWN
A celebrated genius of the one man show, Danny has perfected each of the ten characters in his outrageously funny and explosive new play.
Set in the summer of 2001, Till the Break of Dawn chronicles a group of activists - teachers and artists - who attend a hip hop festival in Havana and find there struggling Cubans, global Hip Hip youths, and even a Black Panther in exile - a woman who challenges (and ultimately strengthens) the New Yorkers' commitments to activism and to each other.
At the dawn of a turbulent new era, Danny's crew learns that only after traveling far from home can they put their lives in perspective - and only then can their true education in the politics of social change begin.
"Till the Break of Dawn succeeds at making politics and social relevancy cool again..."
-- NYTheatre.com
"Funny! This play reminds us why Hoch made such a splash as a writer and performer!"
-- Charles Isherwood, New York Times
"Highly engaging and thought-provoking -- a testament to Hoch s excellent writing and directing abilities."
-- AllHipHop.com

"WAR AND PEACE" (sneak preview) May 27-30 "War is so unjust and
ugly that all who wage it must try to stifle the voice of conscience within themselves."
-- Leo Tolstoy A group art show of photographs, drawings, paintings, posters and
more from a celebrated collective of artists interpreting the themes of "war"
and "peace". Each artist offers a unique perspective that reflects the
diversities and complexities of converging cultures and backgrounds. WAR AND PEACE
seeks to provoke and generate discussion. Taboos and common perceptions will be
challenged. Questions proposed. Is the price for "peace" sometimes too
high? Can a war ever be justified? How does conflict affect the human psyche?
What is the role of art and popular culture in politics?
