About the Amplify Black Voice Theatre Festival: 

Get excited for the Amplify Black Voice Theatre Festival 2024, happening right in Greensboro this April! The Greater Greensboro Theater Consortium, in collaboration with local colleges and community members, is bringing together a dynamic celebration of Black voices in theater. The festival kicks off with a welcoming event and reception, followed by two thrilling evenings of theater on April 26 and 27, featuring two captivating plays each night. 

But there’s more—after the curtains close, the stage will come alive again with insightful discussions. Audiences will have the chance to engage with the cast, playwrights, and esteemed guest speakers such as Kamilah Bush and Michael Dinwiddie, diving into the themes of Black stories, lives, and the ongoing conversation on racial equity. 

This festival was born out of a collective response to the national call for racial justice in 2020. The Greater Greensboro Theater Consortium, uniting seven local college theater departments, including institutions like Bennett College, NCAT, and UNCG among others, aims to amplify Black narratives through the power of theater. Our inaugural festival in 2022 laid the groundwork, inspired by Greensboro’s deep-rooted legacy of social justice and civil rights activism. 

The Amplify Black Voices Theater Festival continues to champion new playwrights from the Greensboro area, offering them the opportunity to develop their work with professional playwrights and dramaturgs. This festival is not just about staging readings; it’s about premiering new works that center the Black experience, fostering dialogue, and inspiring change. 

Join us for this impactful celebration, where the power of theater brings us together to honor, reflect, and advance the conversation on racial equity. It promises to be an unforgettable experience.
