Our Mission
Why are we doing this? We sponsor the HBCU theater festival to support and uplift historically marginalized voices in the arts, promote diversity and inclusion, provide opportunities for talented students, and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of African American storytelling and performance. It aligns with our values of equity, creativity, and community empowerment.

It all begins with your program! Submit your application below with a video, and if selected, you will be invited to join us at North Carolina Central University for the inaugural cohort of the HBCU Theater Festival!
