REGGIE RAP'S ROOM
Inspiring Self Through Creativity While Fostering Connections and Building Community
Who is Reggie "Rap" Unzel III?
Reginald “Rap” Unzel III, who also goes by the nickname of Reggie, is a nine year old aspiring rapper who exudes joy, positivity, and acceptance while sporting a super hightop fade. Rap is a unique and special young boy because of his intuitive emotional intelligence; being actively aware of how to productively express his range of feelings, while managing others emotions, as well as being knowledgable in how to practice self-care through his lyricism, poetry, and rhymes. It’s not until bullies in Rap’s new neighborhood that we see the nuances of such mental and emotional practices while extending ourselves validating grace when we are feeling negative and positive emotions.

The Beginning
RAP UNZEL™ started off as a play. It premiered as a full workshop, stage production in February 2019 for Black History Month at the Austin Scottish Rite Theatre. For limited weekday performances, the Austin Independent School District bussed in students ranging from elementary to high school (~2000 students) during the month. An additional, 500 people gained admission for public weekend performances.
The Growth
Word of Rap’s story, mission, and impact reached beyond Austin to New Orleans, LA. Jon Greene, co-artistic director of The Radical Buffoons, heard via word-of-mouth of the production’s values and success. So in December 2019, RAP UNZEL™ made his successful NOLA debut where approximately 500 elementary students and general public attendees resonated with the lessons and mission of Rap’s journey.
