Theatre

The Obie award-winning 13th annual theatre festival 48 Hours in...™Harlem!

This year's festival theme was Black political speeches from iconic Black leaders. 6 playwrights wrote new 10-minute plays based on the speeches of Stacey Abrams, Shirley Chisolm, Kamala Harris, Jesse Jackson, John Lewis and Barack Obama.

Vice President Kamala Harris' remarks to kick off her “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour was our team's inspiration.

Morgan Barnes-Whitehead wrote American Dream Deffered overnight that Abigail Whitney directed in less than 10 hours.

Synopsis: Three co-workers discuss their diverse relationships to Election Day.
