A neighborhood finds renewal, healing and hope
Tangela Large brings her award-winning performance to Chapel Hill. In this uplifting one-woman show, a Harlem community takes stock when a Chinese immigrant’s shoe repair shop mysteriously doesn’t open one morning, causing an array of customers to realize what the shop owner has meant in their lives. Large plays nine distinct characters as we explore gentrification, racism, and open-mindedness in this diverse, New York City landscape.
