Last weekend I saw—and loved— Immediate Family , Written by Paul Oakley Stovall, and directed by the legendary Phylicia Rashad. It was hilarious, but it also had some poignant moments, and spoke about how family deals with revelations among its members. You've got to see it! #Blacktheatre

Happy birthday to Ira Aldridge (1807-1867) - the first Black theatre manager-actor in the UK.

Here he is playing the title role in Othello, Aaron in Titus Andronicus, and King Lear.
