Editorial: A black theatre museum: Keeping the magic on between festivals

Journal editorial board

Winston-Salem Journal

Another fine National Black Theatre Festival has come and gone, but an associated effort promises to keep the magic alive between festivals.

Three prominent arts organizations in Winston-Salem have come together to create a National Black Theatre Hall of Fame and Museum, the Journal’s Lynn Felder reported last week. Organizers hope to find a space downtown near the Stevens Center to hold displays and exhibits featuring the festival, black theater and theater performers. It would include memorabilia associated with many of Winston-Salem’s own shining stars, such as artistic director Mabel Robinson and the late Larry Leon Hamlin, the festival founder.
