Image description

'Out of Bondage' is credited with being the first African American musical comedy. Written in 1876 by Joseph Bradford and adapted by Samuel B. Hyers, the play was performed by the Hyers Sisters Combination, Sam Lucas, Dan Lewis, and others. The Hyers Sisters performed "Out of Bondage" throughout the United States until the mid-1890s. This advertisement was probably printed for the performance at the Boston Theatre during the week of August 20-25, 1877.
