Two shows exploring race in America will be revived on Broadway next spring by the Roundabout Theater Company.

The nonprofit company, which operates three Broadway houses, announced Monday that it would stage new productions of “A Soldier’s Play” and “Caroline, or Change” this season.

“A Soldier’s Play,” written by Charles Fuller, is about the complex racial tensions unearthed after the murder of an Army sergeant. The play was first staged Off Broadway in a 1981 production by the Negro Ensemble Company that featured a then-unknown Denzel Washington. It was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1982; two years later it was adapted into a film called “A Soldier’s Story.”

The new production — the first for this play on Broadway — will be directed by Kenny Leon (“A Raisin in the Sun”) star David Alan Grier (“In Living Color”) and Blair Underwood (“When They See Us”). It is scheduled to begin previews Dec. 27 and open Jan. 21 at the American Airlines Theater.
