Jubilee Theatre Presents Hype Man: A Break Beat Play

Jubilee Theatre proudly announces the upcoming production of Hype Man: A Break Beat Play, a pulse-pounding, thought-provoking work by Idris Goodwin that explores friendship, accountability, and the often-unseen creative forces shaping hip-hop culture. Directed by Charles Jackson Jr., the production will run from January 30, 2026, through February 28, 2026.

Directed by Charles Jackson, Jr. and written by Idris Goodwin, Hype Man: A Break Beat Play follows three artists on the brink of a breakthrough: a rising rap star, his longtime hype man, and a gifted woman beat maker whose sound fuels their success. When an unexpected crisis erupts on the eve of a career-defining performance, all three must confront difficult truths about loyalty, responsibility, and whose voices are truly heard when the spotlight hits.
