Donate to BE

Through our mission of eradicating racism, the Black Ensemble Theater has been fighting against the injustice and inequities that are alive and well in our world today.  We started in 1976 and today the battle is continuing at a feverish pace.

We ask you to join us in this fight.  Support our efforts by donating to the Black Ensemble Theater today.

Your donation will allow us to continue delivering vital programs that work hard to diminish the effects of racism while helping us to understand that as human beings we must learn how to respect our differences and acknowledge our sameness.  No matter our race, creed or color – we must live together on this planet as one people, it is essential to our survival.

We hope you will embrace and support our efforts by making a donation today.  There are many ways that you can help.
