This year's show is call SPROUT! {Spitting Powerful Rhymes Organically Unleashing Truth} It is a fierce Hip Hop theater production fusing literacy and performance art. Presented by members of the 2009 Kuumba Lynx performance ensemble [KLPE], Sprout explores bittersweet truths while challenging us to respect our individual lives and collective responsibility to each other, therefore honoring our Mother Earth. Sprout intertwines personal narratives and social commentary with emotional portraits from today's youth. Coupled with spoken word, astonishing street art, and dance, this dynamic presentation of unyielding spirit seeks to re inspire one's life journey.
