About Us

Project1VOICE is a not-for-profit performing arts service organization. It was established in response to the severe economic downturn of 2008-2009 that resulted in significant reduction in arts funding. This had a profoundly devastating impact on African American theater organizations. Many African American theater closed as a result of this crisis in the economy. What began as a grassroots initiative soon developed into a national initiative.

Our mission is to strengthen and promote African American theater and playwrights. We do this through our innovative initiatives and approaches to audience development, volunteerism, and community engagement, as well as, fundraising.
