A Shakespeare Valentine & The Harlem Renaissance

Multi Ethnic Theater returns to the Gough Street Playhouse with a two-part program celebrating true love and Black History Month. A Shakespeare Valentine and The Harlem Renaissance features eight actors, four women and four men, with the words of 47 of The Bard’s Sonnets to present stories of five couples. After intermission the same actors present great words from the Harlem Renaissance, poems and a story by Langston Hughes (“Thank You, Ma’am”), a story by Zora Neale Hurston (“Spunk”), and additional poems by James Weldon Johnson and others.

All proceeds from Shakespeare/Harlem will benefit the building and restoration fund at Trinity-St. Peter's Church and Gough Street Playhouse.
