NBTF NEWS

Dear Patrons,

The North Carolina Black Repertory Company, producers of the National Black Theatre Festival (NBTF),
has announced that the 2021 NBTF, scheduled for August 2-7, 2021 has been postponed and rescheduled
for August 1-6, 2022.

The organizers assessed the impact of COVID-19 on festival attendance and on the safety and comfort
level of our staff, volunteers, artists and patrons. A decision was made that it is not feasible
to produce an event of this magnitude at this time.

The effects of the global pandemic make it impossible to present a festival of the caliber that our
audiences have come to expect. We will continue ongoing preparations for next summer’s festival.

We look forward to seeing everyone for another marvtastic theatrical experience.

Yours in the Arts,

Sylvia Sprinkle-Hamlin
NBTF Executive Producer

We’re saving a seat just for You in 2022!
