Vinnette Carroll's Legacy: A Conversation

Peter Schmitz Season 3 Episode 81

In the 1970s, director Vinnette Carroll brought her gospel-themed musicals about African American culture through Philadelphia on their way to Broadway. We discuss this much-neglected important Black theater artist, in a conversation with Jerrell Henderson.
