Jacob Ming-Trent’s solo show “How Shakespeare Saved My Life” blends hip-hop, poetry, and Bard’s words to tell the raw, powerful story of growing up amid homelessness and addiction, yet finding strength through language and art. This isn’t just a memoir—it’s a tribute to the “tribe of ancestors” who carried him through, proving that even the most unexpected encounters can become the foundation of greatness.
