About Hype Man: a break beat play

Frontman Pinnacle and his hype man Verb have been making Hip-Hop together since they were kids. Now that they've got top-notch beatmaker Peep One in the mix, the group is finally on the verge of making it big-until the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager shakes the trio to its core, and forces them to navigate issues of friendship, race, and privilege. From break beat poet and playwright Idris Goodwin (How We Got On), this reimagined version of Hype Man filmed up close and personal asks us: who has the responsibility to speak up in the face of social injustice?

Hype Man is being filmed by The Loop Lab and will run as part of A.R.T.'s Virtually OBERON Series.

Tickets are also now available online and by phone to The Conjurors' Club, an interactive multi-magician virtual experience created by Vinny DePonto and Geoff Kanick, to be performed live MARCH 13 - APRIL 4, 2021.

Household tickets are $58.

Discounts are available to students and ticket-buyers under age 25, Blue Star families, EBT card holders, seniors, Harvard faculty and staff, and others
A limited number of rush tickets for $40 will be available ahead of each performance
Packages of 5 or more household tickets are available at AmericanRepertoryTheater.org/groups, by contacting ticketservices@amrep.org, and by calling 617-547-8300
A ticket to The Conjurors' Club includes both admission and a secret package containing artifacts that will be used to participate in the live experience.
