Kings of Harlem
Dixie Center for the Arts
212 N. Vienna St., Ruston, LA 71270
Kings Of Harlem is a riveting Off-Broadway play that follows the journey of seven black men who defied all odds and racked up an incredible 2,000 wins while touring segregated parts of the country during the 1930s. Despite facing discrimination and never being recognized as professionals or socially accepted, the Rens used their basketball skills to challenge white opponents on equal ground. Their astounding winning streak of 88 games in a row remains a legendary feat in basketball history.
In the midst of the Harlem Renaissance, the Harlem Rens brought a touch of sophistication and style to their sport. They broke through barriers and opened doors for generations to come, forming five years before the renowned Harlem Globetrotters.
This production transforms the Dixie Center for the Arts into a basketball court for an immersive experience.
This is a must-see event for all sports fans and theater enthusiasts alike!!! Witness this incredible piece of history come to life right before your eyes!!!
