Step into an evening where Harlem’s creative heartbeat takes center stage. Uptown Rising: Staged Readings from the Renaissance Residency is more than a showcase—it’s a celebration of vision, resilience, and the stories only our community can tell.
Experience the brilliance of Francine Crawford, Georgia Chriselle, Liz Morgan, Ja Michael De Shawn, and Lawrence Floyd as their original works are brought to life by professional actors, under the direction of Mia Y. Anderson. Each staged reading is a window into new worlds—provocative, powerful, and deeply human.
Stay for a moderated talkback and join the conversation with the playwrights themselves. This is your chance to witness the future of theater unfolding in real time—and to be part of the dialogue that shapes it.
Hosted by: The Uptown Collective
Directed by: Mia Y. Anderson
Supported by: NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, NYC Council on the Arts, DYCD, and West Harlem Development Corporation.
Come ready to be moved, challenged, and inspired by Harlem’s rising voices.
