About Theori Media
Theori Media was founded January 1, 2005 at Chicago State University, with the intent of educating and upliftingthrough Theatre from a Hip-Hop perspective. Seeing the negative images and activities that are being promoted inHip-Hop, Wendell Tucker and Jeremy Noah set out on a mission to dispel the harmful belief that Hip-Hop is anegative entity. For years we have been entertaining Chicago. Now we are poised to bring our message to the world.Our flagship show, I Still Love H.E.R. (a tribute to Hip-Hop), has been running since August of 2005. Through positive messages, engaging stories and honest dialogue, Theori Media is intent on changing the world, one stage ata time. The company consists of actors, dancers from every discipline, visual artist, musicians and technicians. Thishomogenous mix is bound by one idea: If you want the world to change, you must be the change you want in theworld. This is our Theori.What Makes Theori Media Different
A New Perspective

Theori Media is focused on offering a different perspective than traditional African AmericanTheater. While drawing upon the rich history of classical African American Theater, we are firmlyrooted in Hip-Hop as a positive entertainment and educational vehicle.
New Classics
o
Our productions are not created for the short term. We are out to create the classics of tomorrow.Each show that we release is designed to eventually become a Broadway production andeventually optioned by future theater companies for reproduction.
More than Plays
o
Theater is the foundation of Theori Media. There is nothing that can compare to bringing art andwisdom to an audience live. However, we are diverse and have a greater vision for what we bringto the world. Over the next 3 years we will also transition into Film and Television productionwith original films, dramatic shows and new takes on the sitcom.
Giving Back

The true mark of success is not the extent to which one can improve one’s own status, but the
extent to which one can improve the world. This is the guiding principle for our outreach. Throughevery performance we are reshaping our community and working to improve the lives of thosearound us.
