“The Realness” (a break beat play by Idris Goodwin) Thursday, November 2, 2023
Director Aaron Munoz Presentation: 6:30 – 7:15 p.m., Krannert Room
Dramaturg Mitchel Civello Performance: begins at 7:30 p.m., Studio Theatre

This theatrical experience interweaves spoken word, rap, and traditional dialogue for a hip hop tale of love & authenticity set in the late 1990s. In The Realness, we meet T.O. – a young man thrust into a captivating hip hop scene filled with stories, struggles, and a mesmerizing female MC, Prima. Is T.O. real about his infatuation with culture and music? Is he for real about his feelings for Prima? Is she really real about her feelings for him? The Realness will bring University of Illinois and Krannert audiences along for a journey that explores the discovery of our own authentic voice, growing up and falling in love.
