The Sonnet Man<\/a> brings Shakespeare to young audiences in a genre they know and love.  Through Hip Hop, Shakespeare will become exciting and fun, introducing young people to classical literature, raising literacy, improved communication, greater enthusiasm for learning, increase creativity, raise confidence, and will set a foundation for appreciation of the arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featured artist Devon Glover delivers the sonnets as originally written, and then breaks it down into \u201cspoken word.\u201d  Mr. Glover\u2019s flow embodies the richness of Shakespeare\u2019s language, and his passionate, yet natural delivery offers an inspiring, creative experience audiences love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Glover\u2019s story is an inspiration in itself.  Born and raised along with two brothers by a single mom in Brooklyn, he has strived all his life to make something of himself and to give back.  He went through the New York City Public School system and is a graduate of Ithaca College.  Mr. Glover teaches and conducts workshops\/performances in Harlem, Queens and Brooklyn.  He performed The Sonnet Man in Negril, Jamaica by special invitation from the Board of Education in the Soul Rebellion Hip Hop Festival and will be touring nationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
