In association with the producers of Broadway's mega hit Wicked, The Araca Group & Syracuse University, The Tramaine Experience: An Urban Dramedy™ is an edgy interactive theatrical performance experience set in a brilliantly abstract portrayal of the notorious inner-city Chicago Housing Project, Cabrini Green. From its Off-Broadway development at Theatre Row and premiere at American Theatre of Actors, this convivial yet slyly sobering solo show experience manages to highlight the humanity we all share beyond often overemphasized superficialities, putting both a cheerfully farcical and delicately heartbreaking lens on the environmental and experiential given circumstances-- And, the intimate, often voiceless, fragility that shape the lives of a community of inner-city “ghetto" stereotypes hardwired into America’s pop-cultural framework. Creator Tramaine Montell Ford recently earned his Masters of Fine Arts at the A.R.T. Institute for Advanced Theater Training at Harvard University. “An engaging theatrical experience. For once I felt like I was involved in an engaging theatrical experience as opposed to a spectator intruding on a malaise. Ford does an elegant job at illustrating how the problems of Cabrini Green were endemic throughout the country, representing larger urban decay happening all over the nation.” -Trish Vignola, Broadway World ” takes us on a wild and raw journey to the Cabrini Green Projects where he grew up in Chicago and takes us out with pride, introducing us to five unforgettable characters…” –New York Times “With the demolition of Cabrini Green, ‘The Tramaine Experience‘ has unwittingly elevated Ford to the status of creator of urban mythology" -Harlem World
