IN PERSON The Schomburg Center’s new Centennial program series, Century of Black Theater Making, will explore a century of Black theater through conversations and readings of plays that are part of the Schomburg Center’s collection. Hits & Bits takes its title from a variety show presented by the legendary theater company American Negro Theatre, Hits, Bits & Skits, and is an afternoon series of staged readings of plays found in the Schomburg Center collections. 

The second installment of Hits & Bits, produced in collaboration with New Federal Theatre, features three rarely seen one-act plays by the late prolific African American dramatist and educator P.J. Gibson. Gibson is the author of more than 35 full-length plays, and is best known for her 1980s play Long Time Since Yesterday. The P.J. Gibson Memorial Scholarship for Creative writers was established at John Jay College in honor of Gibson.
