To the helping hands that make it all possible💜

We celebrated our volunteers with a special screening of our new documentary, ‘Holy Ground: The Legacy of the National Black Theatre Festival.’

Thank you for showing up, stepping in, and helping to bring the 2026 festival to Holy Ground!

The 2026 International Black Theatre Festival, presented by NC Black Rep, brought three compelling performances to Winston-Salem, from Wynton Marsalis’ "A Fiddler’s Tale" starring Phylicia Rashad to Perri Gaffney’s "Just Me," and Quaz Degraft’s "In the Black."

CVNC critic Lynn Felder praises the productions’ explorations of integrity and authenticity, calling "Just Me" “a one-woman comedic tour-de-force that entertains and inspires us to reexamine the rich material of our own personal histories and life lessons.”

The future of Black theatre is already here🙏🏽

Our Fringe Collegiate Theatre Series brought the bold artistry and imagination of HBCU theatre programs to the IBTF Mainstage through stories that challenged, inspired, and moved us.

Thank you to the student artists and audiences who made this year’s series one to remember.
