My first time seeing one of Beau's performance was at the Def Poetry Jam's performance on Broadway. He is well known for being a spoken word artist.
Although the venue at the MOCA was definitely smaller than the Broadway stage, it gave way to a much more intimate and spontaneous performance.
Beau's performances mostly have to do with issues of race and cultural identity within America. His words are very moving and thought provoking.
A friend and myself were able to enjoy Beau's show for $5 a piece. It would've been even cheaper if we were MOCA members, which we have and are planning on becoming.

Note: I would not recommend this performance for young children because of adult language.
