Biographical / Historical
The Kuntu Repertory Theatre (Kuntu) was founded in 1974 by Dr. Vernell Lillie and Robert
Lee "Rob" Penny. For over 35 years, Kuntu was an African-American performing arts group in
Pittsburgh. With roots in the Black Arts Movement, Kuntu provided a platform for Black
artists and technicians to examine African-American experiences with the goal of creating
personal growth and social change. The group produced over 100 mainstage plays, in addition
to touring productions, workshops, classes, and special events before it ceased operations
in 2013.
The Theatre's philosophy was rooted in the concept of Kuntu drama. "Kuntu" is a Bantu word
meaning mode or way. It follows the cultural traditions of the African continuum in which
the art experience, rather than the art object, are vital. Kuntu and Dr. Lillie were
influenced by and were contemporaries of scholars of Kuntu Drama and African philosophy such
as Paul Carter Harrison, Oliver Jackson, and Janheinz Jahn. Kuntu selected plays that
stressed elements such as a coexistence of humor and seriousness, a sense of community
without a single protagonist and antagonist, preacher rhythms that elicit call-and-response
from the audience, ancestral worship, the indivdual development to the extent of their
capacity for the benefit of the group, and rituals and traditions that flow from the African
consciousness.
The founding artists of Kuntu Repertory Theatre were Dr. Vernell Lillie (1931-2020),
Professor Emeritus in the University of Pittsburgh Africana Studies Department, as Artistic
Director; playwright August Wilson (1945-2005) as acting coach on some early productions;
and Rob Penny (1941-2003) as Playwright-in-Residence. Wilson and Penny, also known as Oba
Kilonfe, began Kuntu Writers Workshop with poet Maisha Baton (1938-2009), who led the
workshops in children's literature. Other contributors to Kuntu include Eileen Morris, Bob
Gore, Ken Ellis, and Marta Effinger-Crichlow. Kuntu became nationally recognized for its
development of celebrated playwrights and produced plays by Dr. Lillie, James Baldwin,
Kathleen Collins, Lorraine Hansberry, writer/actor Chadwick Boseman, Valerie Lawrence, and
William Mayfield, among others.
In 1975, Kuntu debuted with a production of Little Willie Armstrong
Jones by Rob Penny at Pitt's Stephen Foster Memorial Building. Lillie
directed Homecoming in 1976, the first August Wilson play
to be produced by a resident theater company. In addition to producing thirty-seven annual
mainstage seasons, Kuntu performed a collage touring production of scenes and monologues
from the Black Arts canon, created by Dr. Lillie. They also toured internationally,
conducted psychodrama classes in schools, jails, and senior citizens' centers, and sponsored
local community events.
Stephen Foster Memorial theater, located on the University of Pittsburgh Oakland campus,
was the primary performance space for Kuntu's mainstage performances. Later, regular venues
included the Masonic Temple, later Alumni Hall, and the Homewood branch of the Carnegie
Library of Pittsburgh system.
While Kuntu Repertory Theatre was a community-based theatre, it was also a departmental
activity and special project of the Black Studies Department, later the Africana Studies
Department. In addition to students, faculty, and staff, membership included other dedicated
individuals living in the greater Pittsburgh area. However, around 2010, Kuntu became a
registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization separate from the University of Pittsburgh.

Scope and Contents The Kuntu Repertory Theatre Records contain artistic and administrative materials created
by members of the Kuntu Repertory Theatre from its founding in 1974 through 2013. Records
were created as part of the operations of the Theatre first as a project of the Africana
Studies Department at the University of Pittsburgh and later as a 501(c)3 organization to
produce performances and conduct workshops. Some materials document the activities of other
local arts organizations and community groups. These materials were pulled from a donation
from the Board of the Kuntu Repertory Theatre and a donation of materials from the family of
Dr. Vernell Lillie. Dr. Lillie's faculty papers have been separated into its own
collection.
Types of materials include scripts, newspaper clippings, production programs, rehearsal
schedules, set designs, lighting designs, costume designs, posters, photographs,
constitutions and by-laws, newsletters, grant proposals, reports, marketing materials,
meeting minutes, correspondence, sheet music, audio and video recordings, and digital
records.

Subseries 5. Scripts and Promptbooks , c.
1947-2011
Scope and Contents This subseries contains performed and unperformed scripts and promptbooks. This was
determined by reviewing production programs and flyers in the collection. Some
materials may not have been used in performances, and some scripts might not be the
official ones used by actors or crew members, but they were maintained by the Theatre
for review, reference, or were produced as part of the Kuntu Writers Workshop. Some
plays were performed multiple times throughout the years, which is noted in the
repeating show titles. All works are ordered alphabetically by title into the sections
"Performed" and "Not Performed."
