Support our creative ecosystem
Dear Beloved,
Since 1968, NBT has invested over $10 million in 350+ original works by Black creatives, nurturing thousands of artists globally. Our productions span from intimate readings to Broadway stages, cultivating a vibrant creative ecosystem.
Your support celebrates the past, present, and future of Black storytelling and innovation. Every contribution strengthens our ability to empower playwrights, producers, directors, actors, designers, students, and more, ensuring they have a launchpad, a creative home, and a sanctuary to flourish.
By donating, you sustain our mission to produce bold theater, amplify new voices, and forge uncharted pathways for Black artists to support the creative economy. We believe art is a powerful agent for healing and social change. Make a donation today and join us on this journey!
Sincerely,
Sade Lythcott
CEO
