IF HARLEM COULD TALK: is a collection of scenes, monologues and sketches which reflect the African American Experience through the eyes of young people. All of the scenes deal with social issues that occur outside of school. Themes of history, identity, peer –pressure, and self esteem. Each piece is geared towards children ages 11-13. Several plays use music: recorded and live.
The staging of play is best done in simplicity with the use of limited props. The scenes occur in no particular order standing only freely or as individual pieces.
