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!
