About:

Hip-hop theater pioneer Danny Hoch storms The Public stage once again to chronicle the current state of gentrification of New York City. Blazing through a fierce spectrum of New Yorkers, Danny gives voice to everyone from the developers evicting locals to make way for lofts, to the bar-hopping career hipsters who buy them, and those left in the wake of both. True to Danny’s signature style, Taking Over is a raw, explosive, hilarious, and heartbreaking study of the impact of our obsession with economic expansion.

A co-production with the Hip-Hop Theater Festival

Written and Performed by Danny Hoch

Directed by Tony Taccone

Taking Over will be performed without an intermission. Running time appx. 90 minutes. There will be NO LATE SEATING. Performance contains graphic language.
