Williams & Walker by Vincent D. Smith,
Directed by Dwight R.B. Cook, Musical Direction by Eros Da Artiste, Choreography by Mari-Andrea Travis
The story of George Walker and Bert Williams marks a revolutionary chapter in American entertainment history. Strategically billed as the "Two Real Coons," they became the first Black recording artists in 1901 and the first Black performers to write, produce, and star in a full-length Broadway musical in 1902. They were even invited to perform for the King and Queen of England. This duo paved the way for the Harlem Renaissance. George Washington Carver encapsulated Williams' contributions by stating, "Bert Williams has done more for the race than I have. He's smiled his way into people's hearts."
Content warning: This play is based on a historical period in American entertainment. Topics, dialogue, and the brief use of Blackface may be distressing to some.
