Now the dynamic team behind MVCF is ready to brand BLACK COMEDY MONTH™ as a national campaign.

Independent theatre is the backbone of the acting industry. It's where most great theatre actors began, and where they refined their craft. It can be a great place to make bold decisions on stage, get experience, contacts and be seen by the industry.
Performances combine songs, acting, dancing, spoken dialogue that becomes essential to the Black Community. From the early 20th Century to today's society, black musical theater gave African Americans a way to express themselves and tell our stories from our perspectives.Before Black independent musical theaters came about, most African American singers and entertainers performed in minstrel shows, which showcases black people’s stereotypes.
Now having our own shows and theaters, black actors and singers can perform their own stories and perform their own music and skills.
