Act 2: Alice Childress

Playwright, performer, novelist, and cultural critic, Alice Childress looms as an incredibly important but often forgotten figure within the history of the American theater. The breadth of her writing intersects with major movements of Black artistic and political thought, and yet, until recently her work has been relegated to the shadows. For Act 2 of (re)clamation, CLASSIX shines a light on the life, work and legacy of Alice Childress.
