Our Mission
Our History
Our Mission
Our mission is to foster a public appreciation of theatrical productions written by or about the culture and heritage of African-Americans. In essence, we are “telling stories that must be told”.
Help Our Cause
Your support and contributions will enable us to take our productions beyond the boarders of Nashville. We are telling stories that must be told, stories the world needs to hear and see. Your generous donation will fund our mission.
