MoAD presents Spring Fundraiser - Hat Matter: Thoughts of a Black Mad Hatter supporting MoAD exhibitions, artists, education and public programs.
Please join us for this one man show of hip-hop theatre, comprised of poems, stories, and monologues.
Hat Matter uses movement and dance, accompanied by original classical string music, to explore the headspace of an American Black Dandy. We invite the audience into the dressing room of this Dandelion as he frolics about his foxhole making sense out of non-sense. Prepare your minds and hearts for a deeply thoughtful journey into themes of Love, Self-Worth, Community and the nature of our Humanity.
Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind show before it heads to the East Coast!
