Now is a time for radical change. 

At Uprising Theater, we believe that art is a pillar of revolution. Inherently interactive, it forces society to engage with the perspectives of individual communities. From ten-story murals to fashion to photography, to dance, art elevates the voice of the people. As a Palestinian-American theater company, our mission has always been to amplify the voices of marginalized communities seeking social justice. As our society faces this exciting movement, we feel it imperative to play a role in passing the mic to Black voices.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help us commission Black female and non-binary artists by donating on our GoFundMe Charity Page or by donating via PayPal through our website, selecting #BlackArtMatters in the drop-down menu.
