The Pilgrimage: A Journey Back Home

National Black Theatre is excited to announce the 2024/2025 Theatrical Season themed The Pilgrimage: A Journey Back Home.

This season bring you FIVE productions of new and reimagined contemporary work by Black artists.

Inspired by “The Negro Motorist/Travelers’ Green Book,” this season is inviting our community on a journey to examine the critical choices we must make to craft the kind of home we want for the future. A year when NBT continues the focus of its own new home, this season invites everyone to imagine what it means to create, imagine and navigate through spaces to discover one’s belonging. Audiences will get a first-hand look at transformative works addressing topics from climate to immigration, colorism, HIV/AIDS, and Black Skate culture. These productions will be paired with a series of complementary events, content and conversations spearheaded by NBT’s Alternative Learning and Social Impact Department.
