Fade To Black Embarks On Its 6th Season

Shabach Enterprise's groundbreaking play festival, Fade To Black, returns for its 6th season of short plays. Fade To Black is Houston's first and only play festival to showcase the new works of African-American Playwrights!

Designed as an initiative to address the need for relevant promotion of African-American Playwrights and their new works, this three-day festival selects ten of the nation's top African-American Playwrights and performs their plays before a live audience. Casted with some of Houston's most talented local artists and directors, we have successfully created a multi-cultural theatre event that gives voice to a society of playwrights whose level of recognition has been denied for far too long.

Fade to Black was created by S. Denise O'Neal, a published Houston playwright who is the festival's executive director. "After seeing so few African-American Playwrights represented in theater festivals in the Houston community," she said, "I decided it was time for a change."

Winners to be announced nationally on Tuesday May 1, 2018.

All shows perform at 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, June 21-23, 2018* *A playwright talk-back is set for Friday, June 22, 2018 at 10:30pm.
