Black Theatre Troupe

Comment on Facebook

At the beginning of the long hot summer of 1969, a City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Supervisor named Helen Katherine Mason noticed the distinct absence of one rich and resonant voice within the Valley's arts community. From that day forward she dedicated herself to giving that voice a place where it could be lifted and heard by all. A place from which that single voice could illuminate a rich legacy and share those illuminations with everyone. From its proud but humble beginnings as a grassroots, creative outlet for restless, talented young urban rappers in the 70's, the Black Theatre Troupe (BTT) is now a highly recognized professional theatre, producing quality plays which reflect the heart and soul of the African-American experience. All of the Black Theatre Troupe's programs are 'community based.' BTT is a community based arts organization. Within the structure of the organization are several unique and creative components that encourage community participation and community educational development. All performances at the Herberger Theater Center in Downtown Phoenix, Arizona.
