We, the Black Theatre Ensemble, appreciate the theatrical, performative, and technical talents of artists devoted to portraying and enriching the Black cultural heritage throughout the dramatic arts. The students of Georgetown University recognize the need for exposure to and more appreciation of the Black dramatic cultural heritage. Therefore, it is the intention of the G.U. Black Theatre Ensemble to produce works of Black artists and/or works relating to the experiences of the Black community. Above all, we seek to provide a voice for all communities traditionally underrepresented in the performative arts. Although we offer unique opportunities for minority students, namely students of color, to become involved in theater, we welcome the input, interest, and involvement of the entire Georgetown community.
