ABOUT THE SHOW
A Taste of Black Theatre II builds on the unforgettable foundation of its predecessor, expanding the journey through the works and influence of legendary playwright August Wilson while introducing new layers of storytelling, movement, and poetic expression.

This dynamic production weaves together powerful scenes, monologues, and original material that explore legacy, identity, love, struggle, and triumph across generations. It’s not just a reflection of the past — it’s a bold conversation with the present.

At the heart of the story is a new generation grappling with what it means to inherit history while carving out their own voice. Through vivid characters and emotionally charged performances, the audience is pulled into a living, breathing timeline of Black life — raw, honest, and unapologetically real.

🎶 With a soundtrack rooted in gospel, blues, spoken word, and contemporary rhythm, this production transforms the stage into a space where culture is felt as much as it is seen.

🔥 This is more than theatre. This is legacy in motion.

Step into the rhythm, brilliance, and cultural renaissance of a legendary era as Showtime Legacy Theatre Company proudly presents Legacy Gala & A Taste of Black Theatre 2 — our official 2026–2027 Season Reveal and the kickoff celebration of 10 Years of Showtime Productions!

This unforgettable evening will be inspired by the elegance, artistry, and bold creativity of the Harlem Renaissance. We invite guests to come dressed in costumes or attire reminiscent of the 1920s and 1930s — think flapper glam, dapper suits, pearls, fedoras, fringe, and all the timeless sophistication of the era.

The evening begins with a vibrant Cocktail & Gala Hour from 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM, featuring live entertainment, music, and immersive cultural experiences that set the tone for the night. Mingle, sip, and celebrate in true Renaissance fashion.

At 7:00 PM, the excitement builds as we unveil our highly anticipated 2026–2027 theatrical season in a dynamic and engaging reveal show. Get an exclusive glimpse into the productions that will define our upcoming year and continue our commitment to honoring Black storytelling, artistry, and legacy.

We’re excited to present "A Taste of Black Theatre" — an inspiring evening celebrating the rich legacy of African American storytelling through powerful scenes from renowned Black playwrights.

This event will showcase pivotal moments from classic and contemporary works, offering a dynamic journey through the voices, struggles, and triumphs that have shaped Black theatre.

Whether you're a theatre lover, artist, or supporter of Black art, we’d love to have you join us for this cultural experience.
