Title
The Origins of Black Theatre in Montreal
Abstract
Montreal's Black Theatre Workshop, incorporated in 1972, is Canada's longest standing professional Black theatre company. It began as the Trinidad and Tobago Drama Group, founded by the author and others, but split off to focus on the development of new works by Black Canadian authors. The author discusses the pre-history of Black theatre in the city, including minstrel shows of the 1850s at the Odd Fellow's Hall and the Garrick Club Theatre which seldom involved Black artists.
