Osceola Marie Adams (née Macarthy; June 13, 1890 – November 11, 1983), known professionally by the stage name Osceola Archer, was one of the first Black actresses to appear on Broadway in Between Two Worlds in 1934.[1] Speaking of Adams' decade-long role as director of some three dozen productions at the Putnam County Playhouse, actor Carl Harms noted she was likely also the first African-American director of summer stock.[2][3]
Adams was known as one of the Howard University student co-founders of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority, now the nation's largest organization of its kind. It was founded the same year as the women's 1913 suffragette march on Washington, which Adams attended.[4][5][6]
