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.

A NEW DAY looks at the pressure Chance has to ultimately face, not just from Frisco, but from in his own family, when even his brothers turn against him and his friends grow tired of his "Stop the Violence" talk. When pushed, the consequences are deadly, and this production shows how it all goes down…

A New Day is filled with a cast of fresh, raw talent. Directed by Jamie Hector of HBO’s THE WIRE, NBC’s HEROES and co-founder of Moving Mountains Inc.
