Brown Girl, Brownstones is the debut novel by the internationally recognized writer Paule Marshall about Barbadian immigrants in Brooklyn, NY. First published in 1959, it was dramatized the following year to great acclaim by CBS Television Workshop with stars Ossie Davis and Cicely Tyson, the screenplay was then largely forgotten until it was rediscovered by scholar and author Dr. Mary Helen Washington.

In collaboration with Georgetown University, STC has gathered students to explore the long-lost screenplay with Dramaturges Dr. Soyica Colbert and Dr. Drew Lichtenberg and present a staged reading directed by STC’s Director of Equity and Belonging LeeAnet Noble and featuring award-winning television and Broadway actor Harriett D. Foy.

See the next generation of actors on the STC stage in a riveting staged reading on Monday, April 10th at 7 p.m. in the Klein Theatre.

This event is available by invitation only. Please RSVP below.
