Each year, Black Arts MKE showcases MKE-based professionals, including seasoned and emerging theater talent of color. We provide opportunities for next-gen artists to display their artistic skills and work alongside talented local theatre professionals and the Marcus Center’s outstanding backstage professionals.
This year’s Black Nativity is directed by the incomparable Sheri Williams Pannell.
