Event Description

Word Becomes Flesh integrates spoken word, hip-hop theatre, contemporary dance, and live music to document nine months of pregnancy from a young single father's perspective. The play fuses tender stories, playful wit and at times, purposeful rage to give voice to complexities and contradictions surrounding race, gender, and the black male identity in the 21^st century.

$25, $15; FC, GCC, STCC and 17 & under $10

Post- show discussion/reception with the artists in the Campus Center Reading Room immediately following the performance until 10pm.
