Through the magic of theatre, Laurence Holder’s Zora allows us to celebrate and explore the prolific life of renowned Harlem Renaissance writer, Zora Neal Hurston, by giving light to her glorious literary journey and its contributions to America’s most treasured literary canon. Sometimes called the “Queen of Harlem Renaissance,” Hurston’s most well-known work is a novel called “Their Eyes Were Watching God,” written in 1937. Previous productions of Zora have included actors Elizabeth Van Dyke and Tim Johnson and direction by Wynn Handman, and were recognized by Audelco Awards for Excellence in Black Theatre.
