Dear Friends and Family,

The Billie continues to challenge the status quo with the re-imagining of the new American theater with our stories and voices, but equally important, by developing and nurturing the next generation of Black artists. As we look toward celebrating 50 more years of Black Genius through the lens of Resistance, please consider supporting The Billie’s dynamic living legacy.

We are so profoundly grateful for your support of The Billie. In these challenging times where yesterday’s price is not today’s price, we cannot even begin to share the depths of gratitude we feel for any gift you can give. As you plan your year-end donations, we hope you will consider amplifying the critical voices of Black artists and stories of Black people with a gift to The Billie, home to the largest African-American community in the nation.

Thank you for your partnership in this work as we could not do it without you. We are humbled that you continue to come home to The Billie, and therefore, we remain committed to bringing dynamic programming to you and for you.

In gratitude,
Shadawn Smith
Executive Director, The Billie Holiday Theatre
