About – Colored People's Theatre

The official blog for the Colored People's Theatre Collective. CPT, founded circa 2010, is a theatre collective whose mission is to explore, challenge and impact how race and diversity are seen on stage. As theatre professionals, we realize that theatre is not created in a vacuum; it is a collaborative entity. Everyone involved (marketing, artistic, ticket sales, community engagement, development, etc.) is responsible for shaping the work that is ultimately produced on stage. Additionally, once a work has been presented on stage, the audience can shape, interpret, and tailor the work to fit their sensibilities. Our goal is to address how both audiences and those who make theatre, see race and diversity and how that impacts the final product.

  1. A Dream Come True!

    I had no idea when I moved to DC less than two years ago that this day would come. Now here we are, TWO WEEKS away from opening the first show in CPT’s history! Wow! What a ride!

    It is a testament to the belief we all had in the work and the desire to create a space where we can explore the complexities of race and its role in theatre.

    The hard work that goes into producing and directing a show can distract you so much that you forget to enjoy the journey. I have to admit, until I got the inspiration to pen this post, I forgot just how much fun this has been. I can honestly say I’ve never had this much fun doing anything in my life.

    I can not wait for you all to see this show. You are going to love it. Our love and devotion permeates through each line. You don’t want to miss this.

    Ok, I have to go and do some more work on the show. I’ll see you in the theater!
