The African Company Presents
Richard III Opens Tonight
In New York circa 1821, the
African Company is forced to relocate its production of Richard III
after staunch competition with a rival white theater company prompts
authorities to shut down their African Grove stage. In a retelling of the
history of America's first African-American theater company, playwright
Carlyle Brown's The African Company Presents Richard III highlights
what director Caroline Jackson Smith, associate professor of theater and
dance and African-American studies, describes as "the tension of
Afrocentric and Eurocentric cultures colliding to create American
performance traditions." The play runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in
Hall Auditorium. Rehearsal photograph of Ann Johnson (Chaunetta
Jones, a sophomore from Washington, D.C.) and James Hewlett (Channing
Joseph, a sophomore from Slidell, Louisiana) by Liz
Fox.
