Paige in Full is a visual mix-tape that blends poetry, dance, visual arts, and live music to tell the tale of a multicultural girl growing up in Baltimore, MD. The production explores how a young woman’s identity is shaped by her ethnicity and popular culture, telling a personal, yet universal, story through the lens of hip-hop.

“Her work was extraordinary – her show is smart, engaging, challenging, and relevant. The students laughed hard, got up and danced, went silent when the story turned serious, and stood cheering at the end.” – Aimée M. Petrin, Executive Director, Portland Ovations, Portland, Maine
