Founded in 1976, Penumbra Theatre is nationally recognized for producing high quality artistic productions through the prism of the African American experience. Most productions are presented in its theater; however, on occasion, Penumbra will present in other venues locally as well as nationally. This season’s productions will include two co-productions, a world premiere, and the beginning of a 5-year commitment to produce the August Wilson cycle tracing black American life decade by decade from 1900 to 2000. Every member of the production team is integral to the overall success of the organization and must be able to work effectively in a highly collaborative environment.
