Abstract
In 1926 Mamoulian moved to New York to join the Theatre Guild, a prestigious company dedicated to staging innovative, artistic work. Mamoulian demonstrated his ability to handle American subjects, leading to his directing the premiere of Porgy, one of the first important Broadway productions with an all-African American cast. Porgy's success brought Mamoulian a high level of acclaim. He directed prolifically for the theatre guild, including Eugene O’Neill's Marco Millions, and with the coming of talking pictures, Mamoulian accepted the challenge of the new technology. For a time, he continued to direct plays while fashioning a new career in film.
