"The Color Orange," a fun, vibrant-hip-hop, rap and theater-look at race, racism and the way we get along will feature Mohamed Bilal and Josh Goldstein challenging participants to think critically about American notions of Black and white, Jew and Muslim, urban and suburban.

Bilal and Goldstein use their long-time friendship to create this performance piece using hip-hop, theater, and sheer mayhem to lead to cross-cultural communication and understanding.

Rapper and poet, Bilal, is known for his role on MTV's The Real World. He is dedicated to confronting issues of diversity, AIDS awareness and personal responsibility. His first solo album, beatbox metafiction, has been touted as groundbreaking for its sensitive lyrics and use of world music. His music has been used on TV series Moesha and Kingpin, and the film Drylongso. Hip-hop musician Goldstein has been rapping for over 17 years and has toured with The Souls of Mischief and Del the Funkee Homosapien.
