Event: TheTramaineExperience December Showing

"Due to the overwhelming number of people that showed up, well over max capacity, and a strict theatre fire code, TheTramaineExperience show was forced to turn away loyal fans and newcomers alike, something that we intend to compensate and prevent for future showings.

The evening performance went on to receive great accolade from the remaining capacity audience, but the "success" was bittersweet for us, as we wanted everyone attending to experience this very special production. 

As a result, we would like to take this opportunity to correct this by offering all of you special consideration and guaranteed priority access to our next showing in 2011. 

We hope that his message finds you well and we look forward to honoring your support!

Sincerely,
 The Tramaine Experience Team"

"TheTramaineExperience: AnUrbanDramedy" is a fresh, hip, up-and-coming art house theatrical work emerging from a burgeoning generation of thought and performance art. Set in inner-city Chicago, this show highlights the humanity all people share beyond stereotypes created by environmental and experiential circumstances. Tramaine Montell Ford takes us on a hilarious journey to the Cabrini Green Projects in Chicago where he grew up and takes us out with pride. The first half is a wild and wacky comedic ride as the dramedy takes us deeper to the heart of humanity in the second half. A show about following your dreams despite your obstacles and going toward the light!"

The Tramaine Experience 1

  The Tramaine Experience: An Urban Dramedy • “Montell transforms memory into a living archive, where demolition becomes metaphor.” • “ Cabrini Green Dreams  extends the work’s inquiry, allowing grief and aspiration to sing.” • “A rigorous, humane meditation on displacement in a nation perpetually under renovation.” Theatre Review In  The Tramaine Experience: An Urban Dramedy , Tramaine Montell offers a solo theatrical work that resists both nostalgia and spectacle. What unfolds onstage is neither a sentimental return nor a polemic about loss, but something more exacting: a sustained inquiry into how memory survives when the physical structures that once housed it have been erased. Rooted in Montell’s childhood in Chicago’s Cabrini-Green housing project, the piece arrives in the long shadow of its demolition, interrogating not merely what was destroyed but what continues to reverberate—in bodies, language, and cultural mythologies—long after the skyline has be...

In The Studio With David Way!

Boy did I have fun working with upcoming super-producer,  David Way . About 14 hours straight, him and I mashed out a song from scratch. And boy did we burn fire! Can't wait for you all to hear the unique and interestingly dope track entitled "Beast (Can't Do Me)". This collaboration is part of the creation of my music EP " TramaineMontell ". The first track on the EP, "Exclusive", will be realeased on my Bday, Jan 31st and the second sometime mid to late March. :) Beast (Can't Do Me)   Lyrics Intro rap: I'm a triple threat so I got three names, all you bitches is the same, all ya feeble attempts is lame. 99 of them but it's only one me, this a one man show, this a one person game, you're the best at what you do if you do you, I'ma do me, it's easy, you'll go far if you find the inner peace, beasts hang with beasts, so I'ma go where the wild things are... Verse1: I am the only created there were none like me befor...

Trauma Therapy Scholarship Letter to The Sanctuary

THE SANCTUARY BRIDGE PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIP ESSAY  Dear Sanctuary Staff, Growing up in Chicago’s Cabrini Green Housing Projects, a community riddled with gangs, violence, and poverty, I defied the odds, earning a Bachelor's Degree in theatre from Syracuse University and Master's Degrees from Harvard University. These accomplishments, celebrated by many as the epitome of success, did little to shield me from the traumatic experiences of my youth, experiences that would shape the course of my life. As I transitioned into adulthood, the insidious effects of the trauma I had endured began to surface. The echoes of my past haunted my emotional well-being, and it became increasingly clear that my journey was far from the conventional success story that others perceived. At the age of 35, the toll of my tumultuous background manifested in a series of devastating losses — my cousin and best friend Andre, fell victim to gun violence; my uncle succumbed to a heroin overdose, and tragically,...
