The Classical Theatre of Harlem (CTH) is a critically acclaimed, New York City-based theater company currently in its 20th season. The company was founded in 1999 with the goal of retelling theatrical classics as seen through the lens of the African diaspora while honoring the cultural legacy of the neighborhood in which it was founded: Harlem. Upon it founding, CTH became quickly regarded as a unique voice in New York’s theater scene, amassing several key awards in its first decade of operations. However, after years of financial mismanagement, in 2009 it was $400,000 in debt and on the verge of closing. In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” producing artistic director Ty Jones, associate artistic director Carl Cofield and choreographer Tiffany Rea-Fisher talk about the legacy of the Classical Theatre of Harlem and the effort to preserve it.
This week on State of the Arts NYC we have Ty Jones, Producing Artistic Director of Classical Theater of Harlem to talk about their holiday production A Christmas Carol. Also joining the show is Anthony Vaughn Merchant who played the role of Scrooge. Shawn René Graham, adapted this rendition of the classic tale. Steve H. Broadnax III, directed the play, Tiffany Rea-Fisher choreographed the production with musical direction by Kahlil X. Daniel Set in present-day Harlem, this holiday treasure is dramatized with CTH’s signature style of infusing classic works with an uptown flair. A Christmas Carol in Harlem places Ebenezer Scrooge as a real estate mogul who has made his fortune at the expense of others. Scrooge foregoes using his wealth to affect positive change within his Harlem community and instead lives a life of miserly solitude. That is, until three unexpected visitors arrive on Christmas Eve to show him that the value of family and the impact of cooperation will lead to a healthy, thriving and prosperous community.
