Item Description
Your Harlem experience starts with four tickets to a performance of Eisa Davis' exciting new work, Flowers Are Sleeping (running April April 25-27). The new music theatre work was commissioned by Symphony Space, and is featured in our Harlem Resonance Festival. Playwright/singer/songwriter/actor, and current Symphony Space Artist-in-Residence, Eisa Davis is the winner of the 2012 Alpert Award in Theatre. She was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Drama for her play Bulrusher, and wrote and starred in Angela's Mixtape, named a best of 2009 by The New Yorker.
The characters peopling this intimate music-theatre piece are loosely inspired by Harlem Renaissance figures such as author and nurse Nella Larsen, critic and poet Jessie Fauset, the critic and poet who was deeply in unrequited love with W.E.B. DuBois, the progressive thinker, scholar, socialist and eventual Pan-Africanist.
After the show, venture uptown to Harlem for some “melt in your mouth” barbeque from Dinosaur BBQ on 125th Street (at 12th Avenue).
Item Special Note
Conditions: Ticket voucher for Flowers Are Sleeping can be used for any of the three performances, April 25-27. Dinner at Dinosaur BBQ includes a $100 gift certificate.
