THE WHITES OF THEIR EYES In 1957, Alice Childress was positioned to be the first black female playwright on Broadway. When her play Trouble in Mind premiered two years earlier at the Greenwich Mews Theatre, it was lauded as a “fresh, lively, and cutting satire” by The New York Times and won an Obie Award for best original off-Broadway play.

This piqued the notice of three prominent Broadway producers who offered Childress her ticket to the Great White Way. These commercial producers made only two requests: change the play’s title and entirely re-write its ending. They argued that the script felt too unresolved, too uncomfortable for Broadway, an industry defined by the condescending white gaze.

Childress was no stranger to this particular brand of feedback. Even her Greenwich Mews producers had pushed for a more saccharine, more palatable ending than she had originally written.

The New York Times announced the play’s Broadway opening for the spring of 1957, with the reworked title So Early Monday Morning. For two years, Childress had tried to re-write her play, compiling more than a dozen drafts, even adding a third act in an attempt to give the drama a sunnier resolution. Childress characterized the producers’ hopes as twisting her reflections on her experiences as a black woman in the American theater into a “heartwarming little story.” Disgusted at the changes she’d wrought—in which the integrated cast and white director join hands at the end of the play to confront their shared prejudice while singing, “We Are Climbing Jacob’s Ladder,”—Childress pulled the plug on the Broadway debut. Two years later, Lorraine Hansberry became the first black female playwright on Broadway with A Raisin in the Sun, Trouble in Mind still awaits its bigtime commercial premiere.

“The American public is not ready to see you the way you want to be seen.”

—Al Manners in Alice Childress’s Trouble in Mind

The Trouble in Mind Childress originally wrote—the one she demanded be used for all future productions—is a painfully accurate image of our national shame, of truths that have been continually obscured and ignored. As Al Manners, the white director of the play-within-the-play exclaims to his cast: “Where the hell do you think I can raise a hundred thousand dollars to tell the unvarnished truth?”

Childress deftly incorporates both the hope we place in the theater as a mirror and a tool for change and the power of structural racism and white supremacy to distort what we see. This same power kept us from seeing Childress’s true vision for Trouble in Mind until its 1971 print publication.

When it was performed for the first time in the UK in the 1990s, one reviewer wrote: “In this show, for once, the theater is telling the truth about itself.”

—SOPHIE SIEGEL-WARREN, PRODUCTION DRAMATURG

But I Do My Thing As Trouble in Mind’s Wiletta Mayer quips: “A woman that will tell her age will tell anything.”

According to her biographies, FBI records, and interviews, Alice Childress was born in 1916 or 1920 in Charleston, South Carolina. In 1925 (at the age of five or nine), Childress moved in with her grandmother in New York. It was gazing out the window of this 135th Street apartment in Harlem, making up stories about the passersby that fed her writer’s imagination. “My grandmother had no formal education,” Childress recalled, “but she’d say, ‘That’s interesting, write it down.’ I’d say, ‘No, I don’t want to,’ but she’d say, ‘Just a little bit.’ And I got used to it.” Childress left high school to pursue a career in theater, tirelessly studying acting while raising her only child. As she worked, Childress grew increasingly frustrated by the pervasive racism and sexism that limited the roles available to black women. So, she wrote some. “I said I can express myself on a piece of paper, and I stayed with it trying to do that, because I wouldn’t let this society cut me off from total expression.” In 1939, Childress helped to found the American Negro Theater, appearing in several productions including Anna Lucasta (1944) which transferred to Broadway and earned Childress a Tony nomination for her performance. In 1949, she wrote, directed, and starred in her first produced play, Florence, and her Gold Through the Trees (1952) became the first play by a black woman to be professionally produced in the United States. Her 1973 novel A Hero Ain’t Nothin’ But a Sandwich was nominated for the National Book Award and named Outstanding Book of the Year by The New York Times, among many other accolades. Over the course of her life, she wrote nine plays, two novels, and numerous essays. Childress spent her entire career battling censorship—from an FBI investigation into her movements in 1953 to some ABC affiliates’ refusing to air a 1973 televised production of Wedding Band to the Long Island school district banning Hero from its public libraries—and still, she wrote. As she put it to The New York Times in 1969: “I’ve a play to write that may never be seen by any audience anywhere, but I do my thing. Who has ears to hear, hear… all others, later.”
