New Haarlem Arts Theatre (NHAT), the new professional theater company of City College of New York (CCNY), will present “Blues for Mister Charlie” by James Baldwin, directed by Eugene Nesmith, from June 23 to July 17 at Aaron Davis Hall, located at W. 135th Street and Convent Avenue, Manhattan (Hamilton Heights). This will be the play’s first major New York presentation since its Broadway debut in 1964. The timely production, designed to entertain and provoke, will re-imagine Baldwin’s notions of race, class and gender relations, casting actors beyond racial lines to present a modern complex picture of American culture today.
