The first reading for my original production " Will She Love Me When I'm 64? took place December 17th at DC Arts Center. It received great feedback. I'm planning a full staged reading for May/June. THe full production debut is planned for August 2010. We are currently looking for a director, set designers and light techs. If you'd like to donate to the production please donate here.

Will She Love Me When I'm 64” is a multimedia production that follows Jazz as he tries to figure out where he fits in an industry that boasts youthful swagger, street tales and fast turnover.
Upon hearing about the retirement of his idol, DC based emcee Jazz revaluates his own career as he tries to make a living in an industry where longevity wasn't built into it's lifestyle. At the same time Jazz’s manager Schooley, usually sketchy with his connects, may have finally found an opportunity that will take Jazz to the next level. Meanwhile, Jazz has been trying to steer his best friend Mo off the streets. Mo has just finished serving time in DC central cell after his cousin Derrick was murdered last summer. Mo has several side hustles and is a self-proclaimed "street counselor." Jazz's father was never sold on his son pursuing hip hop as a career.
