James Harkness
AEA, Sag/AFTRA. Words do not fully describe having my principal debut on Broadway be with Ain’t Too Proud! As a Broadway veteran (Beautiful, Chicago, Guys & Dolls, The Color Purple, Aida), a Handy Award Best Director nominee, an award-winningchoreographer as well as film/TV credits—the immensity of this moment is fully understood. Gratitude to our incredible creative team and Tara Rubin. Dave Brenner you the man. Insta/twitter: @ijamesharkness. Love you, Mom! Don’t give up.
