Our Mission

Our mission is multifaceted—to stimulate social and cultural consciousness through the production and presentation of message-oriented theatre and films, and to help children and youth develop into responsible citizens through affordable theatre arts. Black Spectrum's primary programs goals are:

To create theatre and film productions targeting issues in the African-American community, particularly topics relevant to youth.

To provide children, youth, and adults with life skills and artistic experience through training in theatre and film.

To bring theatre, film, and performing arts to southeastern Queens and underserved communities nationwide.

To highlight emerging African-American directors, playwrights, performers, and designers.
