    About this ebook

    The Theater is a creative collaboration between poetry verse and screenplay acts that tells the story of Daniel. Born to the street life by parents who don't care how and if he lived, Daniel faced life's challenges alone. In poverty, homeless, and turning to drugs for solace, Daniel sometimes still feels hopeful that he might have a chance at a life on center stage. Taking a backstage in life might seem to be his calling, but he has dreams... Will he be able to break the "cradle shackles" or will he remain a slave to the social issues that enclose him? Will he find love, happiness, or will he perish, alone?
