Description:
Theori Productions was founded January 1, 2005, with the intent of educating and uplifting through theatre from a Hiphop perspective. Seeing the negative images and activities that are being promoted in Hiphop, Wendell Tucker and Jeremy Noah set out on a mission to dispel the harmful belief that Hiphop is a negative entity. Through positive messages, engaging stories and honest dialogue, Theori Productions is intent on changing the world, one stage at a time. We are the first Hiphop Community Theatre in Chicago. The company consists of actors, dancers from every discipline, visual artists, musicians and technicians. This homogenous mix is bound by one idea: If you want the world to change, you must be the change you want in the world. This is our Theori. To accomplish this we are working towards purchasing a commercial building to convert into a full Theater/Concert Venue & Hip-Hop and Urban Arts museum.
