Biography
Dr. Vernell Audrey Watson Lillie was a theatre and Black Studies professor at the University of Pittsburgh and co-founder of Kuntu Repertory Theatre, an African American performing arts group in Pittsburgh.
Lillie was born on May 11, 1931, in Hempstead, Texas to Lillie Mae Benjamin Watson and Walter Jennings Watson. She attended Dillard University in New Orleans, Louisiana, and earned a B.A. in speech and drama. Upon completion of her undergraduate studies, Lillie was a group work specialist in dance and drama for the Julia C. Hester House Settlement Association in Houston, Texas from 1952 to 1956. She then served as a teacher and chairperson of the Speech and Drama Department at Phyllis Wheatley and E.E. Worthing High Schools of the Houston Independent School District until 1969. In 1958, she completed her graduate studies in Education and English at Texas Southern University. From 1965 to 1969 she was an instructor of English, curriculum developer, and drama specialist for Project Upward Bound at Texas Southern University. Lillie's involvement with films and filmmakers led to the addition of filmmaking to the Texas public school curriculum.
In 1971, Lillie completed a second M.A. degree in English and the following year earned her Doctor of Arts in English, both from Carnegie Mellon University. In addition to her traditional academic studies, she trained in psychodrama, playback theatre, and problem-solving theatre. She received training from Louis Yablonsky, Zerka Moreno, James Slack, Hannah Weiner, James Enneis, Ray Naar, Jonathan Fox, and Meg Givinish.
In September of 1972, Lillie began her tenure at the University of Pittsburgh in the Black Studies Department, which was also known as the Department of Black Community Education Research and Development (DBCERD) and in 1993 became the Department of Africana Studies. Before this appointment, she was the Project Director of the Feasibility Study for Black Schools for DBCERD. Her academic foci were in the humanities (Black Literature and Theatre) and in psychodrama as both a teaching and curriculum strategy. She was an Associate Professor in Africana Studies until her retirement in 2006 and served as chair of the department for a time. She also taught courses at Carlow Hill College and Duquesne University.
In 1974, Lillie founded the Kuntu Repertory Theatre with Rob Penny; she was the artistic director, and he was playwright-in-residence. Kuntu was renowned for developing and showcasing local talent, but also brought outstanding independent Black filmmakers and films and outstanding dramatic artists in film, theatre, and television to Pittsburgh. The theatre had close associations with August Wilson, and it was the first resident company to produce one of his plays, Homecoming. Some of Kuntu's artists and collaborators include Roy Campanella, Jr.; Kathleen Collins; Mari Evans; Karamu Theatre; Woodie King; Robert Nemiroff; Esther Rolle; Harold Scott; Glyn Turman; Elizabeth van Dyke; and Chadwick Boseman. The theatre performed locally and nationally for major universities and the American Theatre Association, and internationally in Edinburgh, Scotland; Toronto, Canada; The French Festival; and the Grandstown Festival in South Africa. Lillie directed the majority of Kuntu's over 100 productions.
Lillie earned many awards and recognitions during her career. She received honors such as the University of Pittsburgh Chancellor's Distinguished Teaching Award and the Outstanding Award for Women in the Arts by Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Lillie was also selected to be a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania and received countless other forms of recognition for her contributions to theatre, psychodrama, education, and her community.
Lillie died May 11, 2020, at the age of 89. She was preceded in death by her husband, jazz musician and educator Richard L. Lillie, Jr., with whom she shared two daughters, Charisse R. Lillie and Dr. Marsha Lillie-Blanton.
