Part of Urban Stages Solo Play Series!
<h4>No History is a solo theater piece about Arturo Schomburg, a man who crossed oceans in a quest to preserve our history. This diasporic journey will fill us up with cornbread before transporting us to the frontlines of the fight for Cuban and Puerto Rican independence, the streets of New York City during the Harlem Renaissance, and back to the kitchen where it all began. We will experience the music of the Caribbean, the joy of eating soul food for the first time, the poetry of Harlem and rediscover San Juan Hill, the community that was uprooted to build Lincoln Center. With guest appearances from Billie Holiday, Langston Hughes and W. E. B. DuBois, this coming of age story will make us celebrate our shared history and inspire us to save our grandmother's recipes.</h4>
<h4>Urban Stages’ Solo Play Series is in celebration of our 40th anniversary! Throughout the spring, our stage will be dedicated to spotlighting as many playwrights and new plays as possible. In this carefully curated selection of plays, we bring you rich intimate stories and illuminate the talents of writer and performers.</h4><h4>
</h4><h4>Free Admission. RSVPs are recommended but not required. Walk-ups are welcomed as long as there is room. Urban Stages Theater opens 30 minutes before ShowTime.</h4>
