How I Got Over: Journeys in Verse Tickets

How I Got Over: Journeys in Verse is an experimental, verse-driven theater piece that blends spoken word, rap, and storytelling to explore womanhood, identity, and resilience. Premiering in March 2016 as part of Off-Center@The Jones at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, this production brings together a dynamic trio: Suzi Q. Smith, Toluwanimi Obiwole, and Bianca Mikahn. The project is noted for its intimate, lyric-forward storytelling and collaboration between writers, performers, and a director/rap consultant who helped shape its run.

Smith and Bianca Mikahn bring distinct yet complementary voices to the project, with critical works like A Gospel of Bones (Smith, 2020) and Nightdreams & Daymares (Mikahn, 2013) illustrating their music-focused explorations.
