American playwright, director, actor and theatrical producer, Douglas Turner Ward, passed away on Saturday at 90 years old. His wife Dianna Ward announced his passing. Most notably, Ward was known as a founder and artistic director of the Negro Ensemble Company (NEC). Black Theater Pioneer, Douglas Turner Ward, Passes at 90<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born Roosevelt Ward Jr. on May 5, 1930, Ward began his advocacy journey early on by becoming a reporter for the The Daily Worker<\/em>, a newspaper published by the Communist party, clearly aligning himself on the left side of the political spectrum. On the theatrical front, Ward studied theater at the Paul Mann actors workshop, where he ultimately took on the stage name Douglas Turner to honor his role models – Fredrick Douglass and Nat Turner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His studies at the Mann theater led to a prolific stage career for Ward as his first theatric performance can be marked in 1956’s The Iceman Cometh<\/em>. Years later, he made his Broadway debut alongside Sidney Poitier in A Raisin in the Sun<\/em>. Ward made one of his most significant contributions to theater in 1965 with his two one-act plays, Happy Endings <\/em>and Day of Absence<\/em>, which ran for 500 performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same year, Ward published an op-ed piece in The New York Times<\/a><\/em> that proved to be the impetus of Black theater as we know it in the United States. The piece entitled “American Theater: For Whites Only?”, called for theater from the black point of view; requesting that black playwrights write of their experiences primarily, though not exclusively, the the Black audience. Ward also laid the requisition for the establishment “of a permanent black repertory company of at least off-Broadway size and dimension”, to decide, promote and oversee their own creative destiny.\u00a0It were these requests that caught the attention of the Ford Foundation, leading them to award a grant of $434,000 to enable Ward to create the Negro Ensemble Company alongside Robert Hooks (A Woman Called Moses<\/em>) and Gerald S. Krone, with Ward as artistic director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Negro Ensemble Company can be noted for some of the most impactful additions to Black theater with the likes of Dream on Monkey Mountain<\/em> (1971), The River Niger<\/em> (1972), The Great McDaddy<\/em> (1974), The First Breeze of Summer <\/em>(1975), and Eden<\/em> (1977). In 1982, the company released perhaps its most renowned piece of work with Charles Fuller’s A Soldier’s Play<\/em>, whose cast included Denzel Washington<\/a> and Samuel L. Jackson. The play went on to win a Pulitzer Prize and was adapted for film as A Soldier’s Story<\/em> with Washington, David Allen Grier, Robert Townsend, Adolph Caesar, and Patti LaBelle. The play regained life on Broadway in 2020 with Grier and Blair Underwood, with seven pending Tony Award noms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with its rich contribution to Black theater, the Negro Ensemble Company has an alumnus roster that has given Black entertainment the bedrock of its talent. Among the alumni are: Angela Bassett, Debbie Allen, Giancarlo Esposito, Laurence Fishburne, Danny Glover, Delroy Lindo, Phylicia Rashad, Denzel Washington, Lynn Whitfield, and many, many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ward is responsible for some of the most profound work in the Black theater and will be heralded as a pioneer in the genre. His contributions have helped lay a solid foundation for Black creatives of the past and those to come. He is survived by his wife, as well as daughter Elizabeth Ward-Cuprill and son Douglas Powell Ward, and three grandchildren. Rest in Power Douglass Turner Ward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
