The Classical Theatre of Harlem will present Macbeth as its annual free Uptown Shakespeare in the Park production.
The free, family-friendly production of William Shakespeare’s classic, is directed by Carl Cofield, and features CTH Producing Artistic Director, Ty Jones as the titular antihero. The production, framed to reflect the diverse culture and interests of the CTH audience, will be informed by Ethiopia during the time of Haile Selassie (Ethiopia’s regent from 1916 to 1930 and Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974).
With this production, CTH enters into a unique collaboration with Elisa Monte Dance, whose artistic director, Tiffany Rea-Fisher, will serve as choreographer. During the run of the production, CTH will feature one pre-show performance by students of CTH’s educational program, Project Classics, in collaboration with The Dream Center.
This production will reunite Roslyn Ruff and Ty Jones as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, who last performed the roles for CTH ten years ago. Also in the cast are Afia Abusham, Ryan Alvarado, Emannuel Brown, Brandon Carter, Jason Delane, Avon Haughton, Anthony Vaughn Merchant, Andrea Patterson, and Gil Polk. The ensemble will be joined by company members of Elisa Monte Dance.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
TUESDAY thru THURSDAY, SATURDAY & SUNDAY @ 8 PM
