BROADWAY UPTOWN:ZORA!Returns to Harlem
A Story of Triumph, Courage Success
Starring NAACP Award Winner Antonia Badón, Written by Five-Time AUDELCO Award Winner Laurence Holder,Directed by Greg Freelon
Zora in Harlem ignites the spirit of Zora's adventurous energy in Harlem while preparing audiences to trace the root of the famous era. The play takes you on a journey of a small town southern girl who longed to go to school and embraced her financial disparities by enrolling in high school with one change of underwear, one dress, and one pair of shoes. January 1925 with “$1.50, no job, no friends and a lot of hope,” Zora moved to Harlem and became the first black woman to study at Barnard College and Columbia University, rose to fame as a writer, pioneered the literary movement with writers Alaine Locke, Langston Hughes, Wallace Thurman, Dubois, secured a Guggenheim Fellowship Award to study in Haiti, Jamaica and throughout the gulf coast and ultimately became one of the world’s greatest literary genius.
New Orleans-actress’ Antoniá Badón-unique one-woman biography, transcends time and place in a 15 character portrayals, 15 wardrobe changes, 15 authentic voices and 15 music transitions all in 1 hour and 20 minutes for a moment in time allowing the audience to witness a sneak preview of the extraordinary dramatic transformation and portrayal of the famous Hurston in Zora!
