Hang Time: A Poetic Memoir!

Author/Philosopher

Philosophy of Hanging Time!

My philosophy of hanging time uses theater to prove that we each have the power to become more than we are in every moment of our lives. If we suspend our disbelief or rather fortify our beliefs with faith then we can transcend in every moment. Don’t merely suspend your disbelief. Choose to be a believer.

With the 7 Poemedies in Hang Time! Seven reminds us that i) Life Is a Game – Play To Win; ii) Dreams Are The Goals – So Hold Fast; iii) Sacrifices Are Sacred; iv) The Right Playmate Iz Priceless; v) Learn To Earn & Learn to Learn; vi) Love To Live & Live To Love; and vii) Today Is The First & Last.


Akbar’s Summer Hill Seven is powerfully funny and provocative. Summer Hill Seven created poemedy - a lyrically poetic storytelling form where the past meets the present to create poignant, passionate theater for today and tomorrow. His philosophy eloquently expressed in Hang Time! is for tomorrow.
