The Classical Theatre of Harlem's Free Production of "Memnon" Kicks Off This Weekend in Marcus Garvey Park

The Richard Rodgers Amphitheater in Marcus Garvey Park.

The Classical Theatre of Harlem returns this month to the amphitheater in Marcus Garvey Park with a free outdoor production of "Memnon."

The play—written by Will Power, directed by Carl Cofield, and featuring choreography by Tiffany Rea-Fisher—tells the reimagined tale of an Ethiopian king who comes to help defend the city of Troy.

"Memnon" runs Saturday, July 5 to Sunday, July 27 from Tuesdays through Sundays at 8:30pm (Fridays at 8pm).

Come early Thursdays through Sundays (7pm, except Fridays at 6pm) for food vendors and makers brought to you by the Harlem Night Market.

Seating in the amphitheater is first come, first served, so be sure check the weather and make your plans.
