National Black Theatre, for Sustained Excellence in Production and continued Advocacy on behalf of Black Artists

Nina Simone, Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni. Just a few legendary giants who have presented work at this historic institution which produces transformational theater that enhances cultural identity by telling authentic stories of the Black experience. Founded in 1968 by the visionary artist and entrepreneur Dr. Barbara Ann Teer, the organization has been a part of the Theater community for over 50 years- giving Black artists - actors, directors, producers, designers, playwrights and entrepreneurs - both spiritual support and service. The legacy continues by the care Sade Lythcott, CEO, Jonathan McCrory, Artistic Director with support of original company members Abisola Faison, Nabii Faison and their brilliant committed staff and board that hold and lift the community with a devoted concentration to individuals - providing tools, resources, and safe spaces for their own autonomy. For creating metamorphic art that reframes the often distorted narratives of Black life, and sustaining a powerful space of empowerment for its artists, the judges have awarded an Obie for Sustained Excellence in Production and continued Advocacy on behalf of Black Artists to NATIONAL BLACK THEATRE.

The 65th Obie Awards was hosted by Cole Escola with special appearances by Cynthia Erivo, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, Heidi Schreck, Katrina Lenk, Dominique Morisseau, Rachel Chavkin, Liesl Tommy, Emilio Sosa, Clint Ramos, Eisa Davis, Sam Pinkleton, Rachel Hauck, Heather Hitchens, and more.
