Harlem Stage Presents
Freedom Riders: A Journey with No End in Sight
At a time when truth is under attack and voices are being silenced, Harlem Stage sets untold stories free. Don't miss the 10-year anniversary of the groundbreaking theatrical concert reading and the reimagining of 12 Angry Men and Women — visceral, heart-pounding performances based on real accounts of racial profiling in America.
Directed by Harlem Stage's visionary Artistic Director & CEO, Indira Etwaroo, Freedom Riders assembles a transcendent cast of celebrated artists from film, television, and Broadway — Lisa Arrindell (Disappearing Acts, Saints & Sinners), Russell Hornsby (Fences, The Hate U Give, Grimm), Billy Eugene Jones (A Soldier's Play, Purlie Victorious), Angelica Ross (Pose, American Horror Story), Stephen Tyrone Williams (A Master Builder, The Knick).
A live musical score is seamlessly woven through these first-person stories of survival, loss, resistance, and love — collaboratively composed and performed by piano virtuoso Arden Altino, genre-defying violinist Daniel Bernard Roumain, and Grammy-nominated bassist and former Beyoncé musical director, Divinity Roxx. The result is a powerful fusion of word and sound, culminating in a stirring finale that reverberates with hope, courage, and the collective will to rise.
This is theater that hits hard, moves fast, and stays with you.
