What happens when hip hop meets the stage?

Community. Culture. Transformation.

Hey fam — we’re bringing back the BRED Hip Hop Theatre Fest for 2026, and we want you to be a part of it. This isn’t just a "theatre festival". This is a celebration of culture and style — where beats meet storytelling, where movement meets meaning, where local artists and audiences come alive.

This year, we’re aiming to raise $15,000 — and $5,000 of that we’re asking of the community to help us get there, one small donation at a time.

Why $5k from the community? Because this festival is hip-hop through and through — by the people and for the people.

Your $10, $25, or $50 fuels everything:

• Venue rentals

• Tech, sound, and stage magic

• Artist stipends

• Low and no-cost hip-hop theatre workshops for the community

Every dollar helps keep this space rooted in the community it serves.

Whether you give a little, a lot, or spread the word about the BRED Hip-Hop Theatre Festival 2026, you’re helping us build something bigger than any one of us.

Let’s make this year’s Hip Hop Theatre Fest the loudest, boldest, realest one yet.

Drop what you can. Lift what you love.

Sincerely,

Alesyn "Al Wu" McCall-Brown

BRED Hip Hop Theatre Festival Director
