ABOUT AUSTIN BLACK THEATRE COMPANY

When I got married, I moved from Los Angeles to Baton Rouge in the fall of 2001. There wasn’t a ton of theatre going on in the BR especially for an African American woman, so I took a playwriting class, wrote my first full-length play and then decided to produce it. I started writing more and more plays and producing them which eventually turned into The Black Theatre Company of Baton Rouge where I directed and performed, as well as, provided opportunities for others in the community to showcase their talents. When I moved to Austin in 2007, I changed it to Austin Black Theatre Company. Life happened and I slowly stopped producing. But it’s time! And we’re kicking it off with A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. A Raisin in the Sun is by far one of my favorite plays.  Although written in the 1950s, the storyline and themes are still relevant today! The audience will roar with laughter, as well as, be moved to tears.    -Thaïs ​
