Why hasn’t this story been told??
Growing up around Broadway and Black community, I can’t believe I have never heard of Gilpin. Not only is this a historic insight into Broadway – but also a reminder that there are so many forgotten Black stories that need to be told! thank you for sharing this story with us
“What do YOU know about acting?”
Brilliant true story, amazingly talented cast. A compelling look into what it means to be an actor, especially a Black actor. 10/10.
