Classical Theatre of Harlem: Uptown Shakespeare in the Park 2024

The Classical Theatre of Harlem presents Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream starring comedian Russell Peters for the summer 2024 Uptown Shakespeare in the Park.

This production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream transports audiences to the height of the Harlem Renaissance, where four young lovers, a troupe of rude mechanicals, and mischievous fairies find themselves entangled in a web of romantic chaos within a mystical forest.

Having sold-out arenas around the world, including MSG and Barclays Center, this performance will mark Russell Peters’ stage and Shakespearean debut.  NOTE: The role of Nick Bottom will be played by Jaylen Eashmond on July 5-7, 10-13, 17-20.

Every Friday at 7pm enjoy a pre-show by Jazz Mobile before Midsummer.

Come hungry and ready to shop from local vendors and engage with their community partner popups at our Uptown Shakespeare Pop-up Markets every Thursday – Sunday starting at 6pm, presented in partnership with Harlem Night Market, Uptown Grand Central, and The Best of Harlem.

Showtimes: Tuesdays- Sundays, 8:30 – 10pm
