Notes:
written by Marks, Peter and Marks, Walter
Synopsis:
The scene is the set where Anthony J. Lefcourt, writer and director, is rehearsing his new play, a "classic whodunit" (in which all the characters are named Butler) with which he hopes to regain the success that has eluded him in recent seasons. Desperately eager to stimulate his cast to their best efforts, he has deliberately withheld the final scene of the play from them, but his patience is worn thin by the petty jealousies and romantic rivalries that detract from their concentration. In an effort to spur them on he "stages" the murder of one of the actresses, after which the plot begins to twist and turn with such dazzling ingenuity-and hilarity-that soon actors and audience alike have lost track of what is real and what is make-believe-until a surprise ending sets matters straight in a most bizarre and ironic way.

Lyrics by langston Hughrs; adapted by Langston Hughes, Walter Marks and Kent Gash

Langston in Harlem is a new musical about one of America's most honored poets, Langston Hughes. Set in the African American cultural capital of Harlem from the Harlem Renaissance through the Civil Rights movement, Langston in Harlem tells the story of Langston Hughes's journey into manhood and his emergence as one of the most beloved and forward thinking artists of our time. This musical is filled with jazz, gospel, rhythm and blues, swing, dance, and spoken word that sings, jumps, stomps and shouts. Langston Hughes's glorious words and poetry of love, loss, joy and the blues and the people of Harlem who inspired him, come to life.
