The great authors like August Wilson are now able to write the great plays that they have written. This has been the most productive era of African American Theatre. Now that the struggle between the two groups of dramatists is over, the struggle for African American Theatre to stay alive is important.

Black theatres are in limited number and many are under poor management.
If something major does not help the African American theatre, it may become a forgotten part of the past. Works Cited Brockett, Oscar G. and Robert J. Ball. The Essential Theatre .
