http://bit.ly/p1KqZQ Oakland, CA (PRWEB) August 18, 2011 "Dam/aged" was an abstract drama with musical components featuring multiple intertwining stories. The play, produced and directed by Bronche Taylor of Art 4 Change, touched on a variety of issues that affect urban communities across America like HIV/AIDS, suicide, eating disorders, domestic violence and gang violence. Some described the play as "Tyler Perry meets Rent."
?We wanted to produce art that inspires and shows the youth that there is a way to change our city,? said Taylor. ?Our play creatively addressed some of the most prevalent issues facing the youth in Oakland, and we wanted to give the youth a way to express themselves, as well as keep them busy and away from drugs and crime.?
