The Classical Theatre of Harlem – Harlem Travel Guide – Sutro World
Langston Hughes, and William Shakespeare work here
Founded in 1999, the Classical Theatre of Harlem (CTH) has enriched the community of Harlem with more than forty productions that have earned it a loyal following. The company, which was recognized by the Drama League as “One of Eight Theatres in America to Watch,” has a fresh and innovative approach to the classics—most noticeable in its nontraditional casting, original adaptations, and music and dance. Productions have included works by Anton Chekhov, Samuel Beckett, Langston Hughes, William Shakespeare, and August Wilson, among others. CTH also earned the Lucille Lortel Award for an Outstanding Body of Work, an OBIE Award for Artistic Excellence, and a Drama Desk Award for Artistic Excellence, to name a few. This theater is one of Harlem’s true gems in every sense. Currently, CTH performs at Harlem Stage Gatehouse and Harlem School of the Arts. CTH is slated to move into the historic Victoria Theater on 125th Street, several doors down from the Apollo Theater, once it is renovated.
Pay a visit to The Hispanic Society of America Museum and Library located in the beautiful Audubon Terrace Historic District and enjoy a free guided tour of the museum that has been preserving and promoting the arts and cultures of Spain, Portugal, and Latin America since 1908. Then stop by the landmarked Church of the Intercession and marvel at the large English Gothic complex consisting of the cathedral-like church and tower, a full cloister, vicarage, vestry, and parish house.
Transportation: Bus—M2, M3, M4, M5, M100, M101. Subway—1 to 157th St.
