Episode 3: They that Sit in Darkness
By: Mary Burrill
Mary Burrill was a pioneering African American playwright and writer who made significant contributions to American theater in the early 20th century. Born in 1870 in Washington, D.C., Burrill was one of the first Black women to have her plays professionally produced on Broadway.
Although her work was underappreciated during her lifetime, Burrill's legacy has been rediscovered in recent years, as scholars and theater historians recognize her importance in shaping the landscape of American theater. Her commitment to telling authentic stories and challenging societal norms continues to inspire artists and audiences today.
