Urban Theatre Magazine is the predominant stage to showcase minorities in the arts. Our purpose is to bring urban theatre to the forefront, unveiling that Broadway is ‘no’ longer the only measure of success in theatre. Our goal is to provide a platform to highlight our triumphs, discuss our struggles, expose our needs and promote our dreams for urban theatre.
Our aim is to be the new barometer for what’s new, what’s hot, what’s in and what’s not for the world of urban arts. While bringing you the latest news, best interviews, and detailed reviews of the hottest shows, top producers, directors, playwrights, actors, dancers and more in today’s urban theatre market.
Urban Theatre Magazine was founded by Chicago’s Premier Playwright, Shawn Henderson and his wife Greta who is the Editor-In-Chief. Their vision is not only to become the first publication of its kind for the genre but to become the ultimate authority on the genre. Inciting a revolution in our communities and leading the evolution of today’s world of urban theatre.
