A Princeton Humanities Council Magic Project launches a partnership between the Lewis Center for the Arts and New York city based CLASSIX, a collective of Black theater artists and scholars dedicated to expanding the classical theater canon through an exploration of dramatic works by Black writers. This kick-off event features recorded readings by professional actors of excerpts of plays written by artists in the New Deal-era Federal Theatre Project’s Negro Units, as the units were titled then. The readings serve as a springboard for a panel-led conversation on this moment in Black and theatrical history.
