DC Copeland's award-winning "Once Upon A Time In Harlem: A Jitterbug Romance" will have the premiere of the "radio" reading version of the full-length play at the National Black Theatre (NBT) in January 2012 in Harlem. The NBT is the country's first revenue-generating black theater arts complex and in 2012 will be celebrating 44 years "keeping soul alive." "It's exciting and an honor to premiere my work at this legendary and important theatre," Copeland said. "Its prime directive from the get-go was to empower playwrights to tell the often overlooked African American story. 'Once Upon A Time In Harlem: A Jitterbug Romance' couldn't be a more fitting, uplifting, choice. I know my director Petronia Paley will do it right."
The production will include music and dancers from The Harlem Swing Dance Society.
