Bio:

UNIVERSES is a poetic theater ensemble of multi-disciplined writers and performers who fuse poetry, theater, jazz, hip-hop, politics, down home blues and Latin American boleros to create moving, challenging and entertaining theatrical works. Universes breaks the bounds of traditional theater to create their own brand of performance, inviting older and younger generations to reshape the face of American musical theater as we know it. The company consists of four core members: Steven Sapp, Mildred Ruiz, Gamal Abdel Chasten, and Ninja. www.universesonstage.com
