Author Madeline McCray began her show business career at the Henry Street Settlement in New York City; she is a member of the Screen Actors Guild, Actors Equity Association, New York Women in Film and Television and the National Association of Professional Women. At the Capital Repertory Theatre in Albany, New York, McCray co-starred opposite Emmy-nominated actor John Amos in August Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning play Fences. At BACA Downtown-Brooklyn, McCray played Mrs. Smith, a blind Army wife in Imperceptible Mutabilities of the Third Kingdom, a play written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Suzan-Lori Parks. She wrote and produced A Dream To Fly: The Bessie Coleman Story, a solo play based on the life of the first female Black pilot in the world. Her performances at colleges and conferences around the country have been hailed as "an extraordinarily powerful portrayal of the human spirit." McCray's other written works include Caribbean City Chatters and The Southern Jezebel, originally read at the National Black Theatre Festival and later produced in the Caribbean. Madeline also blazed a trail for the popular reggae group Midnite. As manager she secured engagements and toured with the group throughout the U.S. and in Namibia, South Africa. She later moved to the Virgin Islands, where she founded the non-profit performing arts organization, St. Croix Center Stage. Under her leadership the organization produced two international theatre festivals.
