The African Theatre was an African-American acting troupe in New York City established by William Henry Brown in the 1820s. The troupe performed plays by Shakespeare and plays written by Brown, several of which were anti-colonization and anti-slavery. The troupe was largely ignored and even vilified by whites for performing on stage. Little is known of the participants as a result of the destruction of the records of the troupe, even till this day.
