LTG Still Alive In 2005

 
Ruben Jones opened the show with a dynamic piece and blessed the grown in order to set the vibe for the evening

 
Demetrious Ford spoke words of spiritual, electrical energy, as he dedicated a poetic peace to his deceived cousin. He surely delivered words that shook the ground with vibrations thunder when he spoke about how his cousin was violently murdered during an inner-city shoot-out in Philadelphia this summer. No doubt, he made an impact on the audience filled with young impressionable youth.

   
Chris Cream blessed the mic and spoke directly to the young ladies; letting them know that real music comes from within and that true hip-hop speaks words of wisdom to the next generation; describing it as an uplifting to the beauty of the black woman not a degradation to the black man's existence. With his words he let them know that true Hip- hop is a politely, social and economic movement used to equalize the playing fields between the privileged elites who continue to monopolize the economy. Rhapsody reminded the people of the strength in the unity of the black family.

 
Tatyana Monique returned to the stage for a poetic performance. Who ever said “big things come in small packages” must have had Tatyana Monique in mind! She allowed the audience a brief moment in her heart, her mind and her soul when she performed “Baby Falling”. The piece addresses the emotional torment of a young child living life without a father. Her deliverance was so moving that it brought the crowd to tears.

Traveler and his beat crew took the audience on a drum wave back to Africa!!! If the crowd thought there was going to be any gaps in this show they came to the wrong production from start to finish the performances kept increasing in energy.

Lady Adeana closed the show with her hit single “Trade it All for Love”.

The Live Theatre Gang would like to send out a special thanks to all those who supported their efforts to expand in order to service a larger population of urban communities across America; Ras, Tatyana, Bizzy Liz, Bookie, Chris Cream, Ruben, Tamika, Adeana’s Camfam, Rahropsody , The Kids form the YMCA, and the entire North Philly community.

 
 “Because it takes a village to raise a child!!”
