About

The mission of True Colors Theatre Company is to celebrate the rich tradition of Black storytelling while giving voice to bold artists of all cultures. True Colors is more than a theatre company; we are dedicated to forging new pathways to support Black creatives. Amplifying Black voices is central to our mission; the Drinking Gourd consortium commissions and premieres works by leading Black Playwrights nationwide. Through The Next Narrative Monologue CompetitionTM, we continue nurturing young talent by equipping students with the tools and mentorship to foster success. Our connectivity programming nurtures enduring partnerships with community leaders and organizations, collaborating with MARTA, the Atlanta Beltline, and Home Depot Backyard to bring impactful programming to diverse audiences.
