A Tribute to Langston Hughes
Thursday, Mar 7 | 7:00 PM
The Arts Council of Greater New Haven, in collaboration with curator Katro Storm, presents “A Tribute to Langston Hughes,” a dynamic one-man theatrical performance by “Ade” Anthony Thompson and a screening of “Voices and Visions,” the renowned documentary about Langston Hughes. A question and answer period with the audience will take place after the screening.
Admission is $10.
For tickets to the Lyric Hall event email Shola Cole at scole@newhavenarts.org.
In addition to the theatrical performance, the Arts Council of Greater New Haven presents “A Tribute to Langston Hughes” – the art exhibit – at the Sumner McKnight Crosby Jr. Gallery at 70 Audubon St, 2nd Floor. The exhibition is on view from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, February 8th to April 5th, 2013. Free and open to the public
These events pay tribute to Langston Hughes; poet, novelist, playwright, and leading voice of the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s.
As curator Katro Storm describes it, the show will be layered and include collaborations because Hughes liked to work collaboratively.
