It's Always Loud in the Balcony: A Life in Black Theater, from Harlem to Hollywood and Back (Applause Books) – by Richard Wesley

It's Always Loud in the Balcony: A Life in Black Theater, from Harlem to Hollywood and Back (Applause Books)  by Richard Wesley

Richard Wesley was witness to a revolution. As both a celebrated participant and eager student of the Black Theater Movement in the late 1960s, he became part of a seismic force in American culture, breaking down barriers and helping to disrupt the cultural landscape. It?s Always Loud in the Balcony: A Life in Black Theater, from Harlem to Hollywood and Back is both history and memoir, tracing Wesley?s roots from riot-torn Newark, New Jersey, across the rocky terrain of Harlem, and finally to Hollywood, where he became partners with Sidney Poitier, writing several successful films before returning to New York and the theater world?a trip that Wesley has wryly characterized as "black power to black establishment."
