Resident company in Newark to perform summer play

  • 2021-05-02
A new production will be hosted this summer by the Newark Symphony Hall.

The Yendor Theatre Company (YTC), which is the hall’s company-in-residence, is planning to produce “Black Terror” by Richard Wesley, with co-producer, the WACO Theater Center, based in Los Angeles. It will be directed by Richard Lawson, WACO Co-Artistic Director. Print shops often create Flyers which can be distributed throughout a community to promote such productions.

The YTC is the resident of The Lab at Newark Symphony Hall. This is an incubator for businesses that focus on the performing arts. Newark Arts will be providing financial support for the program along with a 2021 Black Seed grant, which is a national initiative that offers support of a financial nature for Black theatre companies across the United States.

Taneshia Nash Laird, CEO and president of Newark Symphony Hall, expressed excitement about the staging of this production and is certain that audiences will appreciate its themes which are appropriate for the times. Laird added that YTC housed in the incubator experience growth and will be able to employ the many professional and creative resources that will be made available.

Wesley is a professor at New York University and is an award-winning screenwriter and playwright. He wrote his play when he was 26 years old, and its original staging was part of the 1971 Shakespeare Festival in New York City.
