The Green Pastures, a groundbreaking play by Marc Connelly, opened at the Mansfield Theatre in New York City. Featuring an all-Black cast, it was one of the first major Broadway productions to do so. The play, which presented biblical stories through the perspective of African American spiritual culture, became a critical and commercial success, winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1930.
