R Literature Ripples on the Pool[DEVIATION] I. Ripples on the Pool The cauldron glowed, full to the brim with swirling liquids which would reveal many things. The room that held it was dark, the changing colours of the ripples on the boiling mass were the only light. The surface was white, but rings or blue and red undulated fitfully out from the center. Two figures stood over the changing concoction and watched, waiting to see what fate would reveal. Bodies were swallowed in shadow and the faces changed hue with the constant shifting of the glowing liquid. “When,” asked the voice of the first man, a voice defined by a controlled strength, “when will it reveal all?” “Shortly,” replied the voice of the second man, a voice revealing the traits of airy wisdom and light conjecture, “but you must prepare yourself to receive it. I do not know just what will be revealed.” “I know what I suspect.” “Be not ruled by suspicion, that is what you always told me. Perhaps one may only know when he forgets to suspect.” “I will try

URL https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/journal/BlackHistory337---8%3A-Stageplays-1381899790 CONTENT #BlackHistory337 is about the time outside the 28 days designated as Black History Month, an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of the Black community during the other 337 days of the year. Let's continue learning all year long, because history doesn't stop when February ends. For this edition of #Black337 the focus is the stageplay. Now, any platform is a stage. From the elevated stages in Lincoln Center or the Metropolitan Opera , in downtown Manhattan, or in a high school's auditorium[place to hear] to a flat space aside a small town or a living room with the chairs or table cleared out. The stages are as old as the main halls of the pharaohs of yore or the fields where entertainers would perform dramas before kings or queens existed. And plays, come in all forms, from one person shows to musicals. For the purpose of Black337 we will focus on Stageplays in the USA made by Black Americans whose forebears were enslaved or enslaved themselves. One of the earliest stages for Black people in the United States of America is the African Grove Theatre[ 1820-1821] started by George A. Thompson jr. [located at 38 Thompson Street] In such a place, Thompson jr. wrote "King Shotoway". It is not available, or has been lost in time. One of the people who saw plays at the African Grove Theatre was Ira Aldridge. (1807-1867) : first Black American honored by Haiti, King Frederick of Prussia honored him with the Prussian Gold Medal for Arts and Science. https://www.nypl.org/events/tours/audio-guides/100-century-collections-community-and-creativity/item/19625 Alongside Ira Aldridge in Europe was Victor Sejour (1817 1874), arguably the French parallel. Sejour, author of the Mulatre, one of the earliest books published by a Black American, was born in New Orleans. Like Aldridge he fled the U.S.A. for Europe and was honored in Europe, a chevalier. The last thirty eight years of his life , Sejour wrote or acted in plays in Paris. La Mulatre from Sejour https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/495-le-mul%C3%A2tre-from-victor-s%C3%A9jour-two-versions-split-by-an-essay/ While Aldridge or Sejour fled the USA and its white populace for Europe, to gain the ability to lift their head. William Well Brown (1814-1884) born in Kentucky, escaped enslavement to whites after twenty years and lived in the U.S.A. He wrote a play "The Escape; or, A Leap for Freedom". I quote the beginning of the preface. This play was written for my own amusement, and not with the remotest thought that it would ever be seen by the public eye. I read it privately, however, to a circle of my friends, and through them was invited to read it to a Literary Society. Since then, the drama has been given in various parts of the country. And I quote the end of the preface. The play, no doubt, abounds in defects, but as I was born in slavery, and never had a day's schooling in my life, I owe the public no apology for errors Internet Archive with a photocopied version of Black Theatre USA. The link goes ot page 37 where, The Escape, begins. https://archive.org/details/blacktheatreusar00/page/37/mode/2up In the year 1865 , the War Between the States ended in the USA. At the end of said war over ninety percent of Black people in the United States of America were illiterate because of the anti-literacy positions by whites who owned blacks. Around the year 1910, two thirds of the Black populace in the USA could read while ninety five percent of the Black populace in the USA in the time frame had no financial support or opportunity or allowance while citizens of the USA. In the light of that environment, as a contrast, musical comedy's thrived. Acts like the Hyers Sisters Combination produced Urlina, the African Princess. Sam Lucas, the black minstrel, with Sam Jack, white theater owner, created the very successful "The Creole Burlesque Show" . Egbert Williams (1876 - 1921) and George Walker (1872-1911) created a comedy show that used various Black entertainers to highlight their skills. Williams and Walker worked with: writer Jesse Shipp, composer Will Cook, lyricist Paul Dunbar. [ husband of writer Alice Dunbar Nelson, who is a great short story muse for me] created "In Dahomey, a Negro Musical Comedy"(1902); the play was performed in front of the royal family of England, and had a four year run in the United States. Poster for the London premiere of "In Dahomey at the Shaftesbury Theatre, 1903. The poster features the famous cake walk with Bert Williams, acclaimed comedian, at the top of the cake. George Walker, Adah Overton Walker, and Bert Williams link arms and dance the cakewalk in the first Broadway musical to be written and performed by African Americans, "In Dahomey." But one of the most vital stageplay forms in the late 1800s or early 1900s is Pageants. No not beauty pageants but stage pageants. Usually they reenact historical events with narration , costumes , dancing , music. The Wizard of Oz was made into a bawdy play that essentially was a pageant. W.E.B. Dubois(1868-1963), yes a founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, made a pageant called the "Star of Ethiopia" (1913), seen by tens of thousands, prepared by several thousand(for example 200 singers in the chorus). 1916 philadelphia performance "A group of 200 out of the 1,078 participants", Philadelphia, 1916 Three years after the Star of Ethiopia , Angelina Weld Grimke(1880-1958) wrote Rachel (1916). The earliest complete drama for the stage written by a black women in the United States of America. The first modern production of Rachel was in 1990 at Spelman college. Unknown date photo of Grimke Full Text of Rachel https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Rachel_(Grimke_1920) In 1921 Shuffle Along was produced. The book is from F.E. Miller plus Aubrey Lyles. The music is from Eubie Blake. The lyrics are from Noble Sissle. It ran for 504 shows. It was the earliest broadway work for Josephine Baker(Would move to France and become an icon of film and stage), Paul Robeson(legendary lawyer/singer/athlete/shakesperean actor/made famous Showboat), Fredi Washington (the first peola [of "immitation of life"] in film), Florence Mills (legendary performer who died young), Adelaide Hall (was a great jazz entertainer and did the same as Josephine Baker). The song "I'm just wild about Harry" sung by Michigan J. Frog , comes from this play. Sheet music for "Love Will Find a Way", a song from the show Cover page for "I'm Just Wild About Harry", 1921 Looking at the history of these early works you can see how multiform or imaginative while commenting Black Stageplay productions were in the past, even if the environment was a challenge. I used the book "Black Theatre USA", "The Early Period 1847-1938" from James V. Hatch plus Ted Shine as a reference for most of the information stated. The images come from Wikipedia.

Thanks! Join @color-me-club as we celebrate the season of spirits. For some this time is a time of fear, curses born of murder that spread through the interaction of the living with the spirits of those murdered. For some this time is a time of memory, spirits of ancestral lines communicating or encouraging their living descendants. A ghost haunts former homes, to remain a part of their past life. The hues of home are infinite, and even the most frightening looking home can be loved. What ever you decide warrants #HauntedHues , @color-me-club wants you to present them for October. You have a couple ways you can earn the #HauntedHues profile badge: Create a Haunted Hues theme line art deviation and include the tag #HauntedHues before you submit the deviation Color a free-to-use line art featuring a Haunted Hues theme and include the tag #HauntedHues before you submit the deviation (please credit the line art creator in your deviation description) This is the profile badge you will earn when you submit your fall-themed deviation with the tag #HauntedHues Once you have submitted your deviation and received your #HauntedHues profile badge, we’d love it if you would share your deviation to the @color-me-club group 💚 Check out our GALLERIES to find the best one for your deviation.
