520 |a <P>One of the few books of its kind, <i>Acting Up and Getting Down</i> brings together seven African American literary voices that all have a connection to the Lone Star state. Covering Texas themes and universal ones, this collection showcases often-overlooked literary talents to bring to life inspiring facets of black theatre history.</p><p>Capturing the intensity of racial violence in Texas, from the Battle of San Jacinto to a World War I?era riot at a Houston training ground, Celeste Bedford Walker?s <i>Camp Logan</i> and Ted Shine?s <i>Ancestors</i> provide fascinating narratives through the lens of history. Thomas Meloncon?s <i>Johnny B. Goode</i> and George Hawkins?s <i>Br?er Rabbit</i> explore the cultural legacies of blues music and folktales. Three unflinching dramas (Sterling Houston?s <i>Driving Wheel</i>, Eugene Lee?s <i>Killingsworth</i>, and Elizabeth Brown-Guillory?s <i>When the Ancestors Call</i>) examine homosexuality, a death in the family, and child abuse, bringing to light the private tensions of intersections between the individual and the community.</p><p>Supplemented by a chronology of black literary milestones as well as a playwrights? canon, <i>Acting Up and Getting Down</i> puts the spotlight on creative achievements that have for too long been excluded from Texas letters. The resulting anthology not only provides new insight into a regional experience but also completes the American story as told onstage.</p>
