The Mayhem Poets resources
The Mayhem Poets are theatre-trained, comedically-gifted, lyrical virtuosos who seamlessly blend raw elements of hip hop, theatre, improv, and stand-up comedy to tell gut-wrenching truths that leave audiences forever changed.
Los New York Times has called the Mayhem Poets’ performances “an amazing ride” and described the experience as “The Simpsons meets Malcolm X at a Notorious B.I.G. concert.” In 2006, The Mayhem Poets won first place in the Microsoft Idea Wins Challenge and were featured on The Today Show y Noticias del testigo presencial.
The group has toured nationally and internationally at prestigious venues such as the Apollo Theater, Lincoln Center, New Victory Theater, New Jersey Performing Arts Center, and other stages – in addition to countless universities, schools, group homes, and incarceration facilities. The Mayhem Poets are Kyle Rapp (co-founder), Scott Raven (co-founder), Mason Granger, and Mikumari Caiyhe.
