We had a reading of the latest draft of STREET LIGHTS last month at Manhattan Theatre Club and it was a huge success...check out this article in Broadway World about it:

Street Lights For Obama, a concert of Joe Drymala's new hip hop musical, Street Lights benefiting Obama For America.



Hear the music totally free now (and add us on myspace) at http://www. streetlightsmusical. com

RSVP: http://my. barackobama. com/page/event/detail/4gv2d

First cast announcement on Monday!



Street Lights is different than any other musical out there right now...it mixes modern hip hop/pop production techniques with samples from recordings made during the civil rights movement. The songs are about struggle, hope, ambition, anger, injustice, love, and the promise of a new generation. They are heavily influenced by soul, R&B, blues, and especially hip hop.



The Story is about inner-city high school kids trying to make sense of the rough world they've grown up in. Some of them want to get out. Some of them want to be heroes on the block. Some of them want to chase fame. And some of them refuse to accept the world as it is, and they're tired of being told that nothing will ever change. They want to change it.



STREET LIGHTS is about a new generation discovering how powerful they are when they stand together.



Tickets $100 General Admission / $250 VIP
100% of all ticket sales go to Obama For America

hey yall --

we’re about to go back into the studio and record some more Street Lights songs. we’re looking for a couple of really good male hip hop artists who don’t sound anything like "theater". specifically we’re looking for two artists who can rap and sing a little bit as well, but the singing doesn’t have to be amazing, as long as it’s on pitch, like anytime kanye sings ;P the artists should be comfortable learning and performing someone else’s material, though, and should be able to either read music or have a good ear for learning it quickly. we’ll be recording during the day on monday april 21 and tuesday april 22 so time is of the essence (you can record either of those days, whichever works best).



WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR...one is a more traditional old school rapper and one has a more reggaeton sound. we’re not really able to pay anything since we’ve been putting this show together with zero budget (that’s about to change, we hope), but i promise the final products will be HOT. email me at joedrymala@gmail.com if you’re interested and want to know more details...
