Harlem Stage will present a new commissioned work by Carl Hancock Rux titled "Stranger on Earth." The production was made for the institution's "The Year of James Baldwin Centenary" celebration and will imagine a chance meeting between Baldwin and Dinah Washington in 1963, two of the era’s most iconic African Americans. The production will feature vocalist Marcelle Davies Lashley, who will interpret Washington's songs against a video montage by Onome Ekeh.
