National Black Theatre Launches Founding Members Circle Memberships

National Black Theatre has announced a brand new membership system emphasizing cultural stewardship, artistic proximity and community impact.

In an effort to foster relationships that stretch beyond ticket transactions, these limited-quantity membership packages create a fast track to foster the building of a community of theatre enthusiasts who want access to some of the highly anticipated productions, multidisciplinary community events, and exclusive behind-the-scenes invitations included in NBT's 2025/2026 season aptly named The Alchemy of Return: Remembering is a Radical Act. Packages also include early ticket purchasing access to Imitation of Life, co-produced with The Shed.

In an unique partnership, the first one hundred Founding Members, across all tiers, will also receive a one year membership to The Shed. This comes in addition to benefits such as:

  • Early ticket access to MainStage and Broadway productions within the 25/26 season and Imitation of Life, which is the kickoff to NBT's 26/27 season
  • Invitations to exclusive cultural events
  • Access to artist conversations and cultural programming
  • Recognition as founding supporter in playbills and on the NBT website

National Black Theatre has always been a home for visionary storytelling and bold cultural imagination. The Founding Member Circle is an invitation to our community to stand with us at the forefront of this next chapter and to help champion groundbreaking new works, deepen access to transformative artistic experiences, and invest directly in the future of Black theatre. These founding supporters are not simply joining a program; they are helping to shape the legacy and evolution of National Black Theatre for generations to come.,” said Sade Lythcott, Chief Executive Office.

Packages are available for immediate purchase at https://bit.ly/nbtfoundingmembercircle
