Don’t miss the limited run of How We Got On at Definition Theatre.
Before hip-hop went global, three suburban teenagers discovered something that would change their lives forever. It’s the 1980s, and Hank, Julian, and Luann are determined to make their mark on the explosive new world of rap music.
Armed with turntables, notebooks, and raw talent, they navigate cultural isolation, family struggles, and fierce competition as they chase their dreams of becoming the next big thing. But in the suburbs, far from hip-hop’s birthplace, they’ll have to fight twice as hard to prove they belong.
Guided by a sultry DJ who spins their stories with wit and wisdom, this electrifying production celebrates the passion, creativity, and determination of the generation that helped build hip-hop from the ground up, one beat, one rhyme, one battle at a time.
Go for the show, but stay for the art installation The Sound Barriers Vol. 4 by John Vergara afterward! Explore the people portrayed in the paintings who live in Chicago, with some originally from New York, New Orleans, Detroit, and Miami. Vergara’s vibrant brushstrokes, paint splatters, and graffiti work embody the movement of sound, while his cityscape photographs capture the lively party scene we call home. His portraits present music as a life form accompanying each person.
