American Theatre is excited to partner again with the Classical Theatre of Harlem (CTH) to present another series of monologues about great figures from Black cultural history. CTH commissioned each of these pieces, and we’ll be rolling them out for the rest of 2025.
This month we’re happy to share Bumpy Johnson, a short play by Darnell Lamont Walker about the legendary Harlem crime boss, who controlled the neighborhood’s rackets for decades. It is performed by Keith Randolph Smith.
