A New Play by Samuel Harps

The 100th Anniversary of the Harlem Renaissance.
In 1925 Wallace Thurman, Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston created Fire Magazine, to give a new voice to emerging young Negro Artists. Facing racism, censorship, the communist Red Scare, and a controversial new book by Carl Van Vechten, the group fought fiercely to get the first edition published.
A Multi-Media Staged Reading by Members of Shades Repertory Theater.
Shades Repertory Theater provided Rockland County with new plays and films by established and up and coming playwrights, actors and filmmakers for over 20 years. Samuel Harps, the artistic director, has enlightened audiences with works on little known African-American figures and events in addition to public screenings and talks on topical issues.
This event is in partnership with The Gordon Center for Black Culture and Arts.
