About Me

MPAACT has grown from a collective of like-minded individuals who shared an artistic vision, to an organization that has produced a formidable body of work. This work includes: mainstage productions, a playwright's laboratory, standing productions, original music, a publishing company (Sakhu Publications), an arts education program, and many workshops and master classes.It is important to us as a company that we, in everything we do pull from the disparate cultural elements which unite artists in the Afrikan Diaspora. Drawing from the well that nourished artists such as Wole Soyinka, Charles Mingus, Adrienne Kennedy, Amiri Baraka and Bob Marley among others, we create and perform work, which examines and celebrates the many facets of Afrikan theatre. go to the top.
