Jubilee Theatre: “Hype Man: A Break Beat Play”

Jubilee Theatre brings hip-hop to the stage with "Hype Man: A Break Beat Play" by Idris Goodwin, a high-energy story that feels like a live concert and a community conversation. On the eve of a career-defining performance, a rising rap star, his loyal hype man, and a gifted woman beat-maker must confront an unexpected crisis that tests friendship, loyalty, and whose voices are truly heard.

Directed by Charles Jackson Jr., "Hype Man" blends rhythm, sharp dialogue, and powerful performances to explore the cultural impact of hip-hop and the unseen forces behind the music.

"Hype Man: A Break Beat Play" runs February 6–February 28, 2026 at Jubilee Theatre in Downtown Fort Worth.
