“The Hairpiece” from The Colored Museum
The PBS broadcast of George C. Wolfe’s The Colored Museum is now streaming online from February 3rd through February 28th.
The Colored Museum originally premiered at Crossroads Theatre Company in 1986, which is fitting since they are hosting the stream on their website.
The show features 11 scenes designed to satirize stereotypes in Black culture, bring awareness, and, ultimately, dismantle those same stereotypes.
The PBS cast includes original cast members Loretta Devine, Tommy Hollis, Reggie Montgomery, and Danitra Vance.
You can view The Colored Museum in its entirety here. Also, visit Crossroads Theatre to check out André De Shields and Haarlem Nocturne, Melba Moore: Sweet Songs of the Soul, and more!
