I'm performing in my first Shakespearean play (Much Ado About Nothing) and my director gave me my first compliment today. I'm doooomed to failure now for sure. :-)

Summer Hill Séven is known on stage and screen as Sevîn Ákbar. Both names were given to him by his dearly departed mother and both are authentic. 7 is a writer and spoken-word artist who has performed at the Nuyorican Poetry Café, Bowery Poetry Café and Afrikan Poetry Theatre. He has written and directed an autobiographical film – A Poet’s Pilgrimage – about a young poet’s decision to abandon the law and pursue his dream of becoming a poet. He is a graduate of Sister Clara Muhammad High School, Richard Stockton College of New Jersey and the New York University School of Law. He is completing a new one-person poemedy entitled, 7:Nobody Knows My Name based on his memoirs. 7 is also a talented stage actor who feels as comfortable performing Shakespeare as he does the works of Laurence Holder or August Wilson. Finally, 7 is the talented director of the long running hip-hop romantic comedy Platanos & Collard Greens about which the Amsterdam News exclaimed his direction was "powerful!" 7 is from New York but he is currently completing his MFA at the University of Delaware's top-ranked classical theatre training program.
