...The Black Voice...

Obsidian Theatre (OTC) is a company passionately dedicated to the exploration, development and production of the Black voice on the world stage. 

Obsidian Theatre Company's threefold mission is to produce plays, to develop playwrights and to train theatre professionals. 

Obsidian Theatre Company will produce plays from the world-wide canon focusing primarily, but not exclusively, on the works of highly acclaimed playwrights of African descent. Through dramaturgical and performance workshops OTC will promote and develop the work of AfriCanadian playwrights. OTC will provide opportunities for employment and training through mentoring and apprenticeship programs.

Obsidian Theatre Company is a cultural initiative born of a passionate sense of artistic responsibility: a responsibility to bring the black voice, in its many artistic dialects, to the forefront while opening up the vision of black artists so that they expand what they perceive, create and present. We will continue to be a unique player and addition to the theatrical mosaic as we continue to show the new faces of our city and country.
