Penumbra Theatre Twin Cities Metro
Penumbra Theatre is recognized nationally and internationally for our artistically excellent and socially responsible art that illuminates the human condition through prisms of the black experience. We open hearts, rehearse strategies for change, and dispel dehumanizing narratives of people of color. Penumbra Theatre is evolving to become a center for racial healing: a performing arts, retreat and learning space developing new work and sustainable programs for social change generated by artists. We will nurture ethical expressions of the human spirit to inspire creativity, enact justice, and illuminate pathways to build more compassionate communities.
