A NEW DAY

A NEW DAY, is a hip-hop coming of age stage production where a family of young brothers face the pressure to be men, where only the strong survive. They have a common love for hip-hop but can't even agree there. The oldest brother Lotto has a strong rep, while Chance is mistaken to be weak, for believing in principles of non-violence. Frisco, the neighborhood "hot head" is always looking for a fight and finds Chance to be an easy target as long as Lotto stays out of it, and Conz, Lotto's best friend, just make things worse.

Directed by Jamie Hector of HBO’s THE WIRE, NBC’s HEROES and co-founder of Moving Mountains Inc. This production is appealing for both young and adult audiences. Parents looking for a great show to see with their pre-teen/teen-agers, as well teachers of students from 5th grade through high school, will love A NEW DAY. The performance is followed by a discussion led by Chris Kazi Rolle ( www.ChriskaziRolle.com ) of Together Apart and The Hip Hop project. This show fuels talk for serious issues such as violence, bullies, peer pressure, abusive relationships and the power of choice.

Moving Mountains Inc., is a 501(c)(3) that actively works to prepare talented youth to develop their performance skills, seek opportunities for growth and avoid the obstacles that they will undoubtedly encounter and respond to based on their ability to make good choices.
