CTH presents free staged reading of “magical south” at Harlem School of the Arts on Jan. 26

Everyone probably knows and appreciates that the Classical Theatre of Harlem (CTH) is always creating a way for Black creativity to be seen and to thrive, so it is no surprise that CTH is presenting a free staged reading, as part of their Future Classics series, of a brand-new play called “the magical south” by Nigerian-American playwright and director Onyekachi Iwu at the Harlem School of the Arts (645 St. Nicholas Avenue) on Monday, Jan. 26, at 7 p.m.

The Future Classics is a development series that spotlights bold, emerging playwrights whose work interrogates the social and political realities shaping our world today. Each reading pairs the playwright with CTH's resident dramaturge, a professional director, and a cast of actors, followed by audience engagement that helps shape the work's next life.
