Crystal Lucas-Perry

CTH returns to Bryant Park on Sept. 1st, 7 PM with "Young, Gifted and Black," a Bryant Park Picnic Performance. Free entry, first come, first served. Starring Tony Award nominee Crystal Lucas-Perry, Edward W. Hardy, Emery Mason, Kaden Kennedy & Melissa Mosley. The set list will include classical and modern hits performed by these young talents, as well as a moving monologue from Lucas-Perry’s Tony-nominated role in “Ain’t No Mo’” Attendees can bring their own food or purchase from on-site vendors. Local artisanal vendors curated by Hester Street Fair offer diverse culinary options. Lucas-Perry says, “It’s an immense honor and genuine thrill to headline this year’s Young, Gifted and Black concert at Bryant Park, an event championed by The Classical Theatre of Harlem. As an artist dedicated to uplifting our community through creative expression, I find immense inspiration in the youthful talent, artistic passion, and collective dedication that our emerging artists embody. I eagerly look forward to contributing to a night devoted to celebrating our community’s creative excellence while also offering my wholehearted support to the remarkable work carried out by CTH.” Ty Jones adds: “If you look up ‘our ancestors wildest dream’ there should be a picture of Crystal Lucas-Perry.  Her power to challenge perspectives while captivating and inspiring audiences is a testament not only to her artistic prowess, but who she is as a human being.  Artists like her play a vital role in shaping public discourse.  Nina and Lorraine are smiling down at her right now.“ Crystal Lucas-Perry made her Broadway debut in "1776" and received her first Tony nomination for "Aint No Mo'".
