Wake Forest University has received a grant to commission and produce two original plays to be presented during the 2024 National Black Theatre Festival. The $250,000 grant comes from the Henry Luce Foundation. It will benefit a project called “Finding Holy Ground: Performing Visions of Race and Justice in America.” The effort is a collaboration between the Wake Forest School of Divinity, the North Carolina Black Repertory Company, and Wake The Arts.
Sylvia Sprinkle-Hamlin, the chairwoman of the board of the N.C. Black Repertory Company and the executive producer of the National Black Theatre Festival, died Monday. She was 76.
