New York: Thunder’s Mouth Press, 1989. First Edition. Hardcover.

“For over thirty years, Bert Andrews’ photographs have captured the power, passion, and promise of African-American theatre. After his studio burned down in 1985, a priceless legacy was nearly lost; but the theatre community banded together to help reassemble copies of the destroyed photographs. Now, for the first time, nearly 200 of these dramatic and compelling images are gathered together in one landmark book – the first collection to visually chronicle the Black Theatre Renaissance that took place in New York from 1960 to 1985.” Introduction by Cecily Tyson.
