National Black Theatre Festival Vendor Market Winston- Salem August 3-6, 2022

The 17th biennial National Black Theatre Festival (NBTF) rolls out the purple carpet August 1 – 6, 2022 in Winston-Salem, transforming North Carolina’s city of arts and innovation into a mega-performing arts center with over 130 performances in a number of the city’s venues.

Theatre workshops, films, seminars, a teen poetry slam, and a star-studded celebrity gala all work together to accomplish the goal of making the National Black Theatre Festival one of the best theater festivals in the country. Celebrity co-chairs for the 2022 event are Lisa Arrindell (“Madea’s Family Reunion” and “Livin’ Large”) and Petri Hawkins-Byrd (‘Bailiff Byrd’ from “Judge Judy”).
