Additional Details

The New Lafayette Theatre was a New York focal point of the Black Arts Movement. Ed Bullins (1935-2021) was the playwright in residence, working with the theater's director and founder Robert Macbeth. The play was revived in 2014, but we trace no other examples of this poster from its first production.
