A collaborative theatrical piece that brings local legends of DC’s spoken word scene together with Ward 7 and Ward 8 residents to celebrate the resiliency of DC, its people, and our communities.
HOMEGROWN is the cumulative performance project of Spit Dat Academy, a dynamic program of workshops, led by Spit Dat hosts Dwayne Lawson-Brown and Drew
Anderson and established members of the local poetry community to support the growth of the city's next great performance artists. This original piece is directed by
Alina Collins Maldonado and features Spit Dat Academy members Shay Izegwire, Shehariah Johnson, Christian Parks, Kiarra Patterson, and Yalan Sesay, in addition
to DC favorites Charity Blackwell, Kenneth Carroll, and O-Slice who weave together poetry, storytelling, hop hop, and verse to answer the question, “What is home to you?”
