Inspired by Dr. Maya Angelou’s powerful poem Life Doesn’t Frighten Me, this 50-minute original play by multidisciplinary hip-hop artist Paige Hernandez brings to life the everyday fears we all face—and the courage within us to rise above them.
Told through spoken word, hip-hop, and dance, the story celebrates every child’s unique strength and reminds us all that we are indeed fearless royalty.
Presented by Metro Theater Company. Performances are held at the St. Louis Art Museum at the following dates and times:
