This is the first definitive history of African-American theatre.
The text embraces a wide geography investigating companies from
coast to coast as well as the anglophone Caribbean and
African-American companies touring Europe, Australia, and Africa.
This history represents a catholicity of styles - from African
ritual born out of slavery to European forms, from amateur to
professional. It covers nearly two and a half centuries of black
performance and production with issues of gender, class, and race
ever in attendance. The volume encompasses aspects of performance
such as minstrel, vaudeville, cabaret acts, musicals and opera.
Shows by white playwrights that used black casts, particularly in
music and dance, are included, as are productions of western
classics and a host of Shakespeare plays. The breadth and vitality
of black theatre history, from the individual performance to
large-scale company productions, from political nationalism to
integration, is conveyed in this volume.
