CORE VALUES

1. To produce transformational and dialogue-generative theatre that successfully shifts inaccuracies around African Americans' cultural identity by telling authentic, intersectional stories of Black life.

2. To use theatre as a means to educate, enrich, entertain, empower and inform national consciousness around the social issues impacting our communities.

3. To provide a courageous and supportive space for artists of the Black diaspora to hone their entrepreneurial spirit and articulate the complexity, beauty and artistic excellence intrinsic in how we experience the world through their craft—acting, directing, producing, creative placemaking, designing and/or playwriting.
