The world premiere of How Shakespeare Saved My Life, written & performed by Jacob Ming-Trent, will run June 9 – July 5 at DC’s Folger Theatre, directed by Tony Taccone.
“I wanted to tell my story, but I wanted to tell it with purpose and for a purpose,” Ming-Trent shared about the inception of this play. I thought there was another kid out there who needed to hear it, a young actor who needed to hear it, a young hip-hop artist, a young painter, a young whoever who needed to hear it and that my story could save their life. That’s why I called it How Shakespeare Saved My Life.
