SOHUMANITY, the newly founded New York City based theatre organization, by Broadway talent, Tanya Birl-Torres, joined by Sasha Hutchings, is scheduled to complete its Critical Breaks Artist in Residency at Hi-Arts with a public share of a work in progress, 'A Play in 3 Movements,' at Hi-Arts/ El Barrio's Artspace in East Harlem on April 21, 2023.
East 101st Street between 3rd and Lexington Avenues will be renamed Cicely Tyson Way in honor of the late, award-winning thespian. The tribute to the late East Harlem native Cicely Tyson will be marked with a street celebration on the very stretch of 101st that she grew up on featuring an unveiling ceremony with a presentation by Diana Ayala, New York City Council deputy speaker.
El Barrio’s most available resource for economic development are our underutilized theaters, and the underemployed artistic talent available in the Latino community.
