Celebrating Harlem Stage

We are proud to award LaChanze with the Harlem Stage Transformative Artist Award.

LaChanze is an award-winning actress who brings an exhilarating and electrifying presence to any stage she touches. Most recently, she starred in playwright Jack Thorne A Christmas Carol as the Ghost of Christmas Present/Mrs. Fezziwig. Prior, she originated the role of August in two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage’s, A Secret Life of Bees, for which she landed an AUDELCOAward for Leading Actress in a Musical. She gave a spellbinding performance in the high voltage Broadway’s Summer The Donna Summer Musical. In creating the nostalgia of Donna Summer, she landed nominations for the 2018 Tony Award nomination for Leading Actress in a Musical, 2018 Drama Desk Award Outstanding Actress in a Musical and 2018 Drama League Award for Distinguished Performance Award. She is a longstanding member of the Harlem Stage Artist Circle and has been a member of the Harlem Stage Board of Directors since 2017.

We are excited to award Celia Rose Gooding with the Harlem Stage Emerging Artist Award. Celia Rose Gooding is creating much fanfare with her breakout role as Franky Healy in Broadway’s highly praised musical Jagged Little Pill. Ripped from a hundred headlines, the musical is inspired by Alanis Morissette’s bestselling 1995 album of angsty anthems, which includes themes familiar to adolescent girls and young women, from heartless cads to alienation and abuse. Past roles include Penelope Pennywise in Urinetown and Carmen Diaz in Fame at The Rosetta LeNoire Musical Theatre Academy in New York City. Celia has studied Acting and Film at the Berridge Conservatory in Normandy, France with a concentration in Shakespeare, and studied dance at The Alvin Ailey Institute. She is a graduate of Hackley School in Tarrytown, New York with hours in performing arts. She is currently a student at Pace University in New York City, majoring in Musical Theatre.
