Richards, Lloyd [George] (b. 1923), director and manager. Born in Toronto, Canada, the pioneering artist graduated from Wayne State University and worked as an actor before directing at regional theatres. Richards was the first African American to direct a Broadway play, the legendary
A Raisin in the Sun (1959). After staging the musical
I Had a Ball (1964), he moved into management; in 1969 he became the artistic director of the
National Playwrights Conference and then served as artistic director of the
Yale Repertory Theatre from 1979 to 1991. He has staged many of August
Wilson's plays, such as
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (1984),
Joe Turner's Come and Gone (1986),
Fences (1987),
The Piano Lesson (1988), and
Seven Guitars (1996).
