Black theatre in America is alive; it is vibrant, it is vital… it just isn’t funded.
August Wilson
Announcing...
The Center for the Preservation of Black Theatre (CPAAT)
There are only seven brick and mortar black-owned and led theatre houses in the US. Atlanta, the Mecca of Black entertainment, has NONE! We, as artists, constantly scrap and beg for spaces to perform. Leading to a relentless struggle to survive as a theatre company. As a result, so many come and go and the quality of our work suffers.
Please contribute. We need a place to preserve and tell our stories. Every bit helps. Thank you!
Be a part of history!
OUR COVID POLICY
COVID SAFETY: UPDATED 5/1/22
We've attended several trainings and consulted the experts before drafting our re-opening strategy. We will post updates here as the situation changes. In the meantime, please stay safe and if you're feeling sick or uncomforable, please stay home. We need you healthy and creative!
YOUR HEALTH MATTERS MORE THAN ANYTHING...
The Atlanta Black Theatre Festival (staff, board, organizers, sponsors, and volunteers) will follow all CDC guidelines, our advisors and the guidance of the venue operators.
Additionally, due to our commitment to the safety and health of our community, the following precautions will be taken:
- Proof of vaccination is no longer required.
- Surgical, N95, KF95, or KN95 face masks will be required for all guests covering nose and mouth during indoor events.
- Hand sanitizing will be required upon arrival.
- Hand sanitizing stations will be provided.
- Passes will be available online only to minimize contact.
We love our pARTners, donors and grantors!
