This is a poster for the Negro Ensemble Company’s production of “The Sty of the Blind Pig" at St. Marks Playhouse. The background of the poster is made up of graphics comprised of the repeating phrase “the Negro Ensemble Company” in dark ink against a light grey background. In the center right is a white rectangle. The left-hand corners of the white rectangle are rounded; the right-hand corners are sharp. Inside the white rectangle is black text with the names of the company, the stage production and the playhouse. The text reads in part: [Company: / Adolph Caesar / Frances Foster / Moses Gunn / Clarice Taylor / Stage Manager: Horacena Taylor / NOVEMBER 16 - DECEMBER 26 ONLY / the STY / of the BLIND PIG / by Phillip Hayes Dean]. At the bottom left of the white rectangle is a circle that overlaps outside the rectangle.
