A Night of Black Excellence (10/24 + 10/25)

October 24 & 25, 5:00PM

Curated by Theater in Color, this is a celebration of Black art, Black stories and Black lives! Presented with the support of the LMU Theatre Arts Program and the LMU College of Communications and Fine Arts Deans Office.

Theater in Color is a new club geared towards artists of color that works to uplift them, help them excel, and provide resources and guidance. This club was created so that all artists of color felt like they had a space of their own where they can succeed and explore stories and ideas that are their own.
