This week, during , Southern Rep would love to highlight a pioneer in Black Theatre, Douglas Turner Ward.

While he was pursuing his acting career back in 1966, he wrote an opinion piece in The New York Times called “American Theater: For Whites Only?” Later, this article would capture the attention of W. McNeil Lowry, VP of Humanities and the Arts at the Ford Foundation. Lowry was so moved by Turner’s think piece that they co-founded the Negro Ensemble Company. This New York theater group would go on to support many Black writers and actors at a time when there were few opportunities for them.

The company produced critically acclaimed productions, such as Joseph A. Walker’s “The River Niger” (1972), which won the Tony Award for best play in 1974 and was adapted for film in 1976. Mr. Ward directed the play and acted in it, earning a Tony nomination for best-featured actor in a play.

Sadly, Turner died at 90 on Feb. 20, 2021. Read more about his life’s work here: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/22/theater/douglas-turner-ward-dead.html

“A play means nothing on a page. A play is nothing until people do it.” —Charles Fuller.

This week, during , Southern Rep would love to highlight the work of author, playwright, screenwriter, and novelist Charles Fuller!

Fuller’s experiences within the U.S. Army would influence many of his future plays, which revolved around themes of war and the military. One of Fuller’s most notable pieces of work won the 1982 Pulitzer Prize and was later adapted into the film, A Soldier’s Story.
