Beginning January 31st, Actress, entrepreneur and daughter of Reverend Run, Vanessa Simmons is to star in The Actor’s Rap, a new major off-Broadway production written, produced, and directed by playwright and Obie-Award winning actor J Kyle Manzay.
The hip-hop infused comedy, where pop culture meets satire, examines the downward spiral of an African-American actor who begins to lose roles — and a girlfriend — to a famous rapper-turned-actor.
“I think that it’s good that people are giving rappers the opportunity to be film stars, but at the same time I feel that because of a name, real hard working actors miss out on great parts where they know they can deliver,” says Vanessa Simmons, who had a reoccurring role on the legendary soap opera The Guiding Light.
As the eldest daughter of hip-hop pioneer, Reverend Run, Vanessa will star alongside the play’s writer, director and producer J Kyle as Lil’ Tease.
