===========================
Everyday Theatre, in association with The Climate Theater presents:
THE BEATBOXER'S MIXTAPE
February at The Climate Theater
285 9th St (at Folsom)
"The mixtape is a post-modern art, a collage of intent showing what you've got in order to get something you want. This artful agenda perseveres even if it's on CD. Or, in the case of EDT's Mixtape, onstage."
-East Bay Express
Come check out the best in Bay Area beatboxing talent in an electric and eclectic mix of hip-hop theatre and vocal percussion offerings throughout February. From Barsky's Over 9 Waves to the Felonious MCs to the mind-bending skills of the Vowel Movement, this promises to be an amazing month. We do so hope you'll join us.

Drawing from communities stretching from Oakland's murder 20's to Dublin Ireland's Liberties slums, Barsky conjures an inspiringly unique mix of hip-hop theatre, beatboxing, traditional Jewish folklore and the circus arts.
