Abstract

It seems like there is something of a renaissance of late in the Black theatre movement in North America. And for many who found the penumbral period from the mid-1980s into the 1990s to be a mean-spirited time, this is good news indeed. As I write, two phenomenally successful examples of Black theatre in Toronto, Djanet Sears’s play The Adventures of a Black Girl in Search of God (which has been remounted this year as part of Mirvish Productions subscription season) and the CanStage production of Cookin’ at the Cookery, starring Jackie Richardson as blues singer Alberta Hunter, are both playing to full houses.
