Masta Ace’s Looming Play “The Falling Season” Gets Early Rave Reviews
Cate Cammarata has been working with international hip hop legend Masta Ace every week for five years to help him realize his dream of writing a musical. Recently she co-produced an Off-Broadway Developmental Reading with Patrick Blake and Rhymes Over Beats of his new musical THE FALLING SEASON.
Critics and audiences gave them early rave reviews.
“Rap legend Masta Ace has evolved into a playwright. The Juice Crew alumni has developed a play called The Falling Season, which made an informal debut this week in the form of a reading. It all happened in front of about 150 fans, family and industry titans such as DJ Mister Cee, Datwon Thomas, Marco Polo and me—Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur—at Theatre Five at Theatre Row in Manhattan.”
