Eugene ONeills groundbreaking 1921 play, The Emperor Jones, was the first American play that featured an African-American actor in the lead role on Broadway. Charles S. Gilpins portrayal of Emperor Brutus Jones made him the toast of the theater world. But by 1926, ONeill was a legend and Gilpin was lost to history. Adrienne Penders N explores the challenging relationship between Gilpin and ONeill and how it ultimately hinged on one word a word that lifted one of them to the heights of American theater and destroyed the other.Thursday to Saturdays @ 8pmSundays @ 3pm
