If you missed Danny's FREE All-City Tour of Taking Over in the boros (Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx) in October at the Hip-Hop Theater Festival, you can now see it at New York City's Public Theater from Nov 7 through Dec 14.

Danny continues to perform a repertory of his solo work in Hip-Hop Theatre 101 both nationally and internationally, which still serves as an exciting introductory performance for the many out there still unfamiliar with the term "Hip-Hop Theatre".

Danny's large-scale play Till The Break Of Dawn  finished up a successful run in New York City this past fall, produced by The Culture Project and Hip-Hop Theater Festival and presented at Abrons Arts Center in Lower Manhattan. No word yet whether the show will move to Broadway or not.

HHTF 2008! The Hip-Hop Theater Festival which Danny Hoch founded in 2000 is now entering its 8th year celebrating a variety of Hip-Hop Theater works from all over the US and the world. Look for it in Chicago, SF/Oakland, NYC and Washington, DC. For more info go to: www.hiphoptheaterfest.com

Mr. Hoch has translated Jails, Hospitals & Hip-Hop into Spanish having recently performed in Spain, Mexico, Argentina and Chile. But he's having a hard time finding a Spanish-Language publishing deal, as many Spanish-language publishers just understand Hip-Hop as music.

Speaking of books, Mr. Hoch is finishing his 3rd book which will consist of his last full-length play Till The Break Of Dawn accompanied by a collection of his unpublished Hip-Hop writings.

Mr. Hoch's writing can also be found in Total Chaos, an anthology on the art and aesthetics of Hip-Hop edited by Jeff Chang. Total Chaos features some of the most influential artists that are using a Hip-Hop approach to performance, theater, dance, visual arts, design, literature, criticism and more.

On the Hollywood front, Mr. Hoch can be seen in the upcoming Adam Rapp film Blackbird as well as the recent Curtis Hanson film Lucky You, starring Drew Barrymore and Eric Bana, as well as We Own The Night, appearing alongside Joaquin Phoenix, Eva Mendes, Mark Wahlberg and Robert Duvall.

Danny Hoch's award-winning film Jails, Hospitals & Hip-Hop is available on DVD! His performances on Def Poetry can also be seen on the Def Poetry DVD. White Boys is now available on DVD as well.
