12th ANNual ATLANTA BLACK THEATRE FESTIVAL goes TO MACon!

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 African- American 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 create, preserve and tell our stories. Every bit helps. Thank you!  

Be a part of history!

More than a theatre festival!

We do so much more than mount plays...

The Atlanta Black Theatre Festival's prime aim is to: 

  1. CHANGE the narrative by revealing the truth of our history and contributions to civilization;
  2. ENGAGE, encourage, and enlighten the next generation of artist-entrepreneurs;
  3. BUILD a sustainable institution that preserves Black culture through theatre, literature, and art, across the diaspora.
  4. ENTERTAIN and educate while creating whole and healthy communities. 

Programs that IMPACT Communities!
