Cast Youth from The Avenue Blackbox
To Be Young, Gifted, and Black is a stage play that celebrates the life and work of Lorraine Hansberry, the trailblazing African American playwright. Compiled by her former husband, Robert Nemiroff, the play weaves together Hansberry's writings—autobiographical reflections, letters, and excerpts from her works. Through vignettes and monologues, it explores themes of racial identity, activism, and feminism, offering a poignant tribute to Hansberry's enduring legacy and her belief in the power of art to inspire change.
