The Hip-Hop Theater Festival returns this summer to Washington, DC. Now in their seventh year, the Festival brings Hip-Hop work that represents the intersections of culture and community, technology, tradition, celebration and resistance. Join HHTF in witnessing the full breadth of Hip-Hop culture live and on stage. All events and performances throughout the week-long festival are free and open to the public. Performances will take place at a variety of venues throughout the city including Children’s Hospital, Studio Theatre, Dance Place, Flashpoint Theater and the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage.
