Description

Inspired by Dr. Maya Angelou’s powerful poem “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me,” this 50-minute original play by multidisciplinary hip-hop artist Paige Hernandez brings to life the everyday fears we all face—and the courage within us to rise above them. Told through spoken word, hip-hop, and dance, the story celebrates every child’s unique strength and reminds us all that we are indeed fearless royalty. No tickets are required, and seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Families and homeschool groups are welcome to drop in.
