When we presented Happy Birthday Malcolm and Lorraine! at the Billie Holiday Theatre this season, we said it would be the blueprint for what comes next.

Today, instead of reflecting on the idea that America today... we're reflecting on our own independence.

The ability to build with the artists, relationships, and vision we believe in.

The blueprint is already in motion. ✌🏾

Brooklyn — this Friday.

25 artists created original theater, spoken word, live music, and dance inspired by Malcolm X and Lorraine Hansberry.

Not revivals.
Not history class.
New work. Live in the room.

Some of these pieces are raw. Some funny. Some musical. Some confrontational. All rooted in the words, ideas, and spirit of Malcolm and Lorraine.

If you’ve been craving art that actually has something to say right now — pull up.

Bed-Stuy Art House began on Lewis Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant—where for three years it served as a home for artists and community to gather, create, and be seen.

Through theater, music, poetry, and visual art, the space became known for bold work, cultural pride, and genuine connection.

Though the original space has closed, the mission has only elevated.

Now, Bed-Stuy Art House continues as a producing platform—partnering with legacy institutions like Billie Holiday Theatre and visionary artists to bring new work to life.
