Event Description

Written and directed by nationally renowned Spoken Word Hip-Hop Theater Artist Ise Lyfe, "Pistols and Prayers" is a powerful poetic collage of sociopolitical commentary, blended with a glimpse into his coming of age as a man, artist, and advocate for social change. A stage piece based on the newly published self-titled book by one of the nation's greatest young writers, "Pistols and Prayers" is an impressive production accompanied musically by the African-American folk spirituals of internationally renowned artist Melanie Demore, young Master Cellist, Michael Fecskes and radio personality/deejay DC Coleman from KMEL's 106.1FM.

Guest appearances by Zion-I & 106.1 KMEL's Nikki Thomas!
