Up, uptown tonight where we watched a Free stellar performance of Othello by the Classical Theatre of Harlem, outdoors at the Richard Roger’s Amphitheater off 5th Avenue & 125th Street. Beautiful set design, fantastic performances…which included a lovely, yet impromptu, fireworks display in a field behind us! The brilliant actress playing Emilia graciously paused her monologue long enough for the bursts to subside but short enough to pick up the beat & carry on! That’s the beauty of theater alfresco, you never know what else might take center stage! 🎭💥
