This classic play by Academy Award nominee Lonne Elder III gives us the portrait of a Harlem family that dreams of a better life, but pursues it in tragic ways. First made by the Negro Ensemble Business in 1969, the critically acclaimed Ceremonies in Dark Aged Men opened the door for a new generation of African American playwrights, including August Wilson and Lynn Nottage.

An L.A. Theater Works full-cast performance offering Rocky Carroll, Brandon Dirden, Jason Dirden, Julia Speed Mitchell, Charlie Robinson, Glynn Turman and Michole Briana White colored.

Directed by Judyann Elder. Documented before a live target audience in the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles.
