The article presents information about establishment of Negro Ensemble Company at St. Marks Playhouse in New York. Its small permanent company has worked together in training and in performance before the rehearsals of its present and first production. The Ensemble will offer four productions in its 1968-69 season, beginning with the current Song of the Lusitanian Bogey by Peter Weiss. This is not a conventional play but a social tract in a sort of cantata form with passages spoken by individuals and in chorus, dramatic interludes, sound effects, songs and interjections of straightforward information, its performance by five men, four women and four musicians.
