This Companion provides a comprehensive overview of African American theatre, from the early nineteenth century to the present day. Along the way, it chronicles the evolution of African American theatre and its engagement with the wider community, including discussions of slave rebellions on the national stage, African Americans on Broadway, the Harlem Renaissance, African American women dramatists, and the 'New Negro' and 'Black Arts' movements.

To talk about race feels dangerous. How do we enter this difficult challenge? How has theatre both provoked and confronted this "problem"? Throughout history, theatre has staged the fascination, anxieties, and concerns surrounding racial difference. This thought-provoking text introduces key ideas about race and critical race theory, before tracing their relationships with theatre and performance. Spanning ancient Athens to the present day, the book explores topics such as cultural difference in the Elizabethan period, the appeal of blackface minstrelsy in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the later controversies related to colorblind casting, along with other contemporary concerns such as "post-race" theatre.
