This anthology contain a wealth of plays written by black playwrights. While looking for less familiar plays to produce with a primary minority theatre group, I stumbled upon this gem. Within its pages, I was able to find several plays and playwrights I had never heard of before. I enjoyed reading these plays and were able to find works to produce. The plays also provided less known monologes for auditions. Additionally, the various plays provided ample selections of scenes for scene study work. Although some pieces are dated, they are good clasical "Black" pieces. The more modern plays in the anthology date back to 1960's. Never- the- less, it's a good find and a must for my theatre library.

I OWN BOTH VOLUMES OF THIS BOOK. I LOVE A.A. PLAYS AND LIT. THIS BOOK WAS A JOY TO READ IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE ALSO. I USED THIS VOLUME TO DO A PAPER IN MY BLACK WOMEN WRITERS CLASS. I WROTE ON FEMALE PLAYWRITES OF THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE AND THEY ARE ALL IN THIS VOLUME.

A MUST FOR ANY LOVER OF A.A. THEATRE
