Peer Into The Playbill

A panel of special guests discuss ideas and issues in the playbill.

On Alice Childress

From her earliest days in the Jim Crow South, to her formative years in New York, Alice Childress sought to present how extraordinary the ordinary could be. As a playwright, novelist, actor, and activist, she worked to represent America as she saw it. In this panel, Sam White (director of Wedding Band) and Kathy Perkins (a colleague of Ms. Childress and the lighting designer of Wedding Band) discuss the life and legacy of one of America's unsung artists of the twentieth century.
