诗词与音乐可以结合在一起(就像您聆听的现代歌曲)。但蓝斯顿休斯将其创作羽翼更向外伸展。他热爱舞台剧及戏剧并在纽约及洛杉矶成立剧场公司。1930年时，休斯与赫斯顿 (Zora Neale Hurston) 一起编写了他的第一本剧本「Mule Bone」，从此他就不停的为舞台剧编写剧本 。为了让剧本内容贴近现实生活，休斯融合了他的诗词与人们的日常对话。1957年，他写了一本名为「Simply Heavenly」的剧本，该剧于百老汇(位于纽约市)及伦敦上演。


Music and poetry worked together -- just like they do today in songs you listen to. But Langston Hughes spread his creative wings even further. He loved drama and plays, and founded theater companies in both New York and Los Angeles. Hughes wrote his first play, Mule Bone, with Zora Neale Hurston in 1930 and kept writing for the stage the rest of his life. In order to make his plays sound realistic, Hughes mixed the lyrical nature of his poetry with the sounds of people in conversation. In 1957 he wrote a play called Simply Heavenly, which played on Broadway (in New York City) and in London.
