About this Event

The Classical Theatre of Harlem presents Will Power's MEMNON, the East-Coast Premiere


An exhilarating new epic resurrects the story of Memnon, the Ethiopian king and demigod who rides to Troy’s defense, through Will Power’s rhythmic verse, pulse-quickening choreography and music. Fresh from a celebrated debut at the Getty Villa, MEMNON re-imagines a lost chapter of the Trojan War in the heart of Harlem.


Rain Policy:

CTH shows go on rain or shine, so it's always best to assume the show will perform as scheduled. In the event of rain, the start of the performance may be delayed; however, the performance will begin as soon as it is possible to do so. Performances may also pause for sudden changes in weather, but will resume as soon as weather permits. We will only cancel in extreme weather conditions, and will post alerts on our website and on social media with as much notice as possible.
