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 produced by the Negro Ensemble Company in 1969, the critically acclaimed Ceremonies in Dark Old Men opened the door for a new generation of African American playwrights, including August Wilson and Lynn Nottage.

Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in January of 2009.
