"I have seen the many shades of Harlem I've seen it evolve and transform. Could it be the second Harlem Renaissance is here? I think it is, as there is new growth and a renewed interest in the place where I once lived. Harlem has been home to many famous and influential individuals."
Dunbar Blues Away, an original play focuses on the Harlem Renaissance era. A time when jazz reigned. This comical historical play is primarily staged in a building that was home to many prominent African Americans including Board Members of the NAACP during the Harlem Renaissance. The challenges and victories of the voices of Harlem lead to a beautiful show of unity, love, harmony, and sometimes protest. The magnificent pageantry of businesswomen and men, artists, politicians, and musicians are cleverly woven together in this play that features known and unnamed glass breakers who made significant contributions to African-American history.
