BOC goes to the NAC (BLACK OUT NIGHT)

Come with us to Black Out Night at the NAC

On January 16, 2026, the NAC is hosting their annual Black Out Night (BON), an opportunity to watch a play written by a phenomenal Black playwright. This year's play is a production of Natasha Mumba’s Copperbelt which is centered in the spirit of Ubuntu, “I am because we are.”

What to expect

You can come with your crew, a date or join us solo and still have a great time. Getting to the NAC can be a little tricky but BOC can even try to set-up some carpooling so you're not out their on the OC Transpo ;) We'll start the evening by visiting the BON market set up with some local Black female enterpreneurs, receive some NAC swag before heading to our reserved seats and watching a great production. For those who don't want the night to end, there's also the after party! We have it on record that it's a good time!

5:00pm to 7:30pm BON Market showcasing women-led businesses

7:30pm to 9:30pm Copperbelt show

9:30pm to late Afterparty with DJ Seiiizi
