'EMANCIPATION' SERVES ITS PURPOSE
New York Post: "THE unusual venue in which it is being performed adds a chilling emotional resonance to 'Emancipation,' Ty Jones' new play about the 1831 slave rebellion led by Nat Turner being presented by the Classical Theatre of Harlem. It is the Audubon Ballroom, located on upper Broadway, where Malcom X was assassinated in 1965."

It seems that like in real estate, location is incredibly important in theater. It seems like an excellent production choice, to hold the production in the room where Malcolm X was shot- grounding the audience in the history that Ty Jones is trying to remind everyone of.
