July 2007 - SHAKESPEARE: THE REMIX
                (Words by Aaron Jafferis, Music by Gihieh Lee)

Direct from New York City, SHAKESPEARE: THE REMIX is a hip-hop musical that pits Shakespeare himself against the fresh rhymes of a hip-hop loving high schooler.  A battle between then and now that sheds new light on both... 

A special performance on July 21 also included more than a dozen young people that had worked with Aaron Jafferis and Vanessa Soto during three workshop sessions.  One group presented a play that was written collaboratively.  The other group demonstrated acrobatics and movement techniques used for storytelling.

 

This was a partnership between The Arts Farm, Jane Boyd Community House, Urban Theater Project of Iowa, with special assistance from Theatre Cedar Rapids.

 

Made possible with generous lead support from: The McLeod Charitable Trust, Jim & Val Gray, Lowell & Dolores Ledford, Robert F. and Janis L. Kazimour Charitable Trust, Casey & Lindsay Prince, and Michael & Elena Harrington.
