X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Inspired by the works and words of Shakesp
 eare\, <em>Our Verse in Time to Come</em> bridges the past with the presen
 t through verse\, song\, and memory\, and interrogates whose stories remai
 n and whose role it is to ensure they survive. An aging emcee\, affectiona
 tely known as SOS\, gets out of prison after 25 years only to be diagnosed
  with early-onset dementia. Realizing it&rsquo\;s his last chance to recon
 nect with his children\, he engages an old family friend and legal ally to
  arrange his estate and ensure his now-grown twins\, Vi and Will\, accept 
 it before his memory slips away for good. Reuniting to sort out their fath
 er&rsquo\;s inheritance\, the estranged siblings uncover more than they ba
 rgained for. Along their journey\, they meet storytellers who hold pieces 
 of the puzzle that unlock their hearts and offer renewed connection to the
 ir heritage\, community\, and father.</p>\n<p>Incorporating original music
 \, a live DJ\, rap performances\, and interactive collaboration with the a
 udience (yes\, you)\, this is one you won&rsquo\;t want to miss. Experienc
 e these performances across the District at DC Public Library locations!</
