    Harrison Players bring two new plays to Robeson Theatre

    This season, the Richard B. Harrison Players are performing two shows that are spectacular and sure to pique the interest of all those who come to enjoy the productions. The first show, “Gangsters Over Harlem,” is set in the 1930s and is about a woman named Trixie who is caught between two warring gangs of Harlem mobsters. Trixie finds herself in the line of danger when her lover finds out that she is a spy for the other gang. She has to pull off a trick that will save her life. This play runs Feb. 22-26, at 8 nightly and with a 3 p.m. matinee on Sunday. The other play on the spring program is Sophocles’ “Antigone”. This show, which will be staged April 12-16, is the story of a girl who has lost her mother and father and after a brutal war between her brothers, loses them as well. The king, who is also her uncle, has said that one of her brothers will not be buried. She takes it upon herself to defy the king and give her brother the proper burial. Will the king inflict the punishment that he swore against the person who committed this crime, or will God’s law prevail? So mark your calendars for these productions by the Richard B. Harrison Players this spring.
