This week, we welcome Droopy the Broke Baller into the Garden: Open Mic along with our friends and neighbors who never fail to amuse and amaze.

New Orleans, Louisiana-bred hip hop artist, spoken word poet, host, screenwriter and high school teacher Drew Anderson (aka “Droopy the Broke Baller”) has continued to creatively utilize his talent for connecting with audiences big and small via the avenues of art and education.

In 2001, he self-published his first collection of poetry, “Droopy: Dat Boy’s A Fool”, through his company Broke Baller Enterprises. The success of this first project led to the publication of his sophomore work “Feel No Way: The Drew Testament” (2002) and the compilation “I’ll Probably Die Writing” (2003), which he edited and co-wrote along with The 5th eLement, a spoken word/theatre troupe which he co-founded in 2002.bloombars-open-mic-droopy

In 2004, Drew co-founded Straight, No Chaser Productions (SNC), an eclectic corps of filmmakers dedicated to giving voice to underexposed characters and lending reality to unconventional worlds. The group has produced a number of critically-acclaimed shorts for the 48 Hour Film Project.
