'Pigfoot Mary’s Harlem Renaissance'

Inspired by Lillian Harris Dean, one of Harlem’s most successful early entrepreneurs of the 1920s, this lively two-actor play bursts with jazz, bold characters, and the rhythm and dance of the Harlem Renaissance. At once fun, poignant, and educational, 'Pigfoot Mary’s Harlem Renaissance' connects the fire of that artistic explosion to the questions of identity, ownership, and legacy that still shape us today.
