i only wish that the next time an entire group of wonderfully talented black actors decide to lend their talents to a story that they choose a story that really reflects the African-American experience. T. Williams never meant for blacks to do this show. it's written in the lines...there are so many blacks playwrights who could have been catapulted into stardom with this opportunity. why why why...maybe next time!!! i still love them all, i just don't agree with this show for them. i'm over it!

@couturesixfour A good play is a good play! I am happy that they are doing it. I love the thought and feel it should be done more often. Next up....Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf!!

@couturesixfour I couldn't agree with you more, but the point of doing an all black production was to make a statement that African Americans do have these issues as well. Also, it was a great way to show the excellence of black actors by taking on that which is usually predominately white. I would love to see more all Black productions of the typical 'white' play. However, perhaps August Wilson will get his moment next? We can only hope.

@Riss313 I would only say that I don't agree with "proving" the quality of black actors by putting them in these productions. August Wilson made an address once and he said that it was not his desire to assimilate to the forms of "white theatre". He asked for the freedom and the support of the arts community when blacks tell their stories. There are plenty of black playwrights whose work can be displayed. Who cares about living up to "their" standard or plateau anymore?

[Riss313]

@couturesixfour It's not necessarily 'proof,' but a demand for notoriety. But I do agree with you. There are plenty of black playwrights, but sadly they don't garner the main stream attention unless they follow the perpetration of stereotypes. That's not the case in everything though. You are right, however, we shouldn't be leaving up to 'their' standards anymore. Each race has their own set of 'issues' and each should be able to properly publicize them as well.
