It's Always Loud in the Balcony
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 po...
The Mighty Gents
THE STORY: Ten years before the time of the play The Mighty Gents had been a power in the streets of the Newark black ghetto--proud, feared and sure of the promise of the future. But now, at thirty, the glory years are gone, and the few Gents who st
The Richard Wesley Play Anthology
This anthology of five full-length plays collectively outlines a cultural history of black America in the post-Civil Rights era, from the late 20th century through the first decades of the 21st. Black Terror looks at the radical politics of the Black Power era; The Sirens, the destabilization of black familial and social life in the early 1970s; The Mighty Gents, the destructiveness of “black macho” in the late 1970s; The Talented Tenth, the midlife crisis and the end of idealism in the black middle class in the early 1980s; and Autumn, the new generational paradigm in black urban politics in the early 21st century. Each of the plays included in this anthology was born out of the idea of the public thinker, and what Arthur Miller would refer to as the importance of an individual conscience – as well as the belief that each generation must give back, must inform and inspire the generation that follows. No people – and certainly not the African Americans still striving and struggling in the 21st century – can thrive if they fail to adhere to that simple idea.
Wesley and the People Called Methodists
The practical and theological development of eighteenth-century Methodism.
The Sirens
Three varied and highly amusing short plays, combine into a well-balanced triple bill, but may be presented separately with equal effectiveness.
Black Terror
In America’s very near future, a guerilla revolution is in progress. A group of youths who call themselves the Black Terrorists has taken up arms against its oppressors. But Keusi, a Vietnam veteran and the group’s most prized assassin, harbors counterrevolutionary thoughts. He doesn’t believe that all the killing is necessary—he finds it hard to hate, and thinks the Black Terrorists are bravely but poorly led. When the terrorists decide to assassinate a black politician who has pledged to destroy the insurgency, Keusi has grave doubts. Should black men kill black men? When and how will the slaughter end?
Understanding Software Dynamics
An Expert Guide to Software Performance Optimization From mobile and cloud apps to video games to driverless vehicle control, more and more software is time-constrained: It must deliver reliable results seamlessly, consistently, and virtually instantaneously. If it doesn't, customers are unhappy--and sometimes lives are put at risk. When complex software underperforms or fails, software engineers need to identify and address the root causes. This is difficult and, historically, few tools have been available to help. In Understanding Software Dynamics, performance expert Richard L. Sites tackles the problem head on, offering expert methods and advanced tools for understanding complex, time-co...
30 Days with Wesley
30 Days with Wesley is a prayer book designed to take readers through an intentional and intensive fellowship with Jesus.
John Wesley
My aim has been chiefly to present two aspects of Wes1ey's life history. The first of these embraces his earlier career, in which prominence is given to those events and circumstances which in so remarkable a way prepared him for his great work--a preparation which cannot, without doing violence to its teaching, be regarded as other than providential. But this providential control was accompanied by a human prudential effort, most wisely directed, and unfalteringly sustained, through a long course of years, doubtless without any prescience of its ultimate purpose. These are a twisted strand, which defies disentanglement. A second object aimed at has been to set forth the one chief purpose for which I believe Wesley was raised up, and to fulfil which he was especially qualified namely, his evangelistic appeal to the heart and conscience of this nation.
