The Alden presents B-Fly Entertainment’s “All the Way Live!,” for one performance at 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 11. Written and performed by Washington, D.C. hip-hop artists Baye Harrell and Paige Hernandez, this interactive show for children is “all the way live” as history is revived through hip-hop lenses. Tickets are $15, $10 for McLean Community Center district residents. The theater is located at 1234 Ingleside Ave.

Creativity. Respect. Understanding. Cooperation. Effort. Self-care. “All the Way Live!” seeks to teach these qualities in a relatable and catchy way, much like a song on the radio. Using rhythm and rhyme, the show aims to tune children to the frequency of positive thoughts and feelings. Its opportunity for audience participation gives young people a chance to broadcast their best selves to the world. “Paige Hernandez is the complete performer package personified. She has a lot of energy and possesses a million-dollar smile…Her rapping and rhyming skills match Harrell’s, making them a winning team,” as reported in Broadway World.
