This event has already occurred
Description
Set in the early 1800s, this backstage story follows an African theater troupe in NYC putting on a production of Shakespeare's Richard III while a rival theater with a big star does the same. This original play by Carlyle Brown is inspired by the true story of the African Company, the nation's first black drama troupe that performed at its own theater on Bleecker and Mercer Streets. This production is staged by the Titan Theater Company at the Queens Theater in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
