Little Ham

Black Repertory Group Theatre
3201 Adeline St Berkeley

The Harlem Renaissance comes to brilliant life in Berkeley at Black Repertory Group's production of Langston Hughes' classic Little Ham. This romantic urban comedy set in the Jazz Age centers on a vibrant, resilient community whose residents dream of hitting it big playing the local numbers game. But then downtown's white mob moves in, convincing local smooth operator "Little Ham" to help them take over Harlem. Still, that won't keep down this neighborhood's indomitable spirit in this feel-good production.
