What: The National Black Theatre (NBT) is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the launch of a new website designed and developed by Studio Usher and our partners at Digital Citizen. The site serves as a modern home for Black arts and culture that reflects NBT’s rich legacy as well as its future as a 21st-century destination for Black culture and theater.

Goal: The website is designed to extend NBT’s mission to empower communities through theater arts, education, and social impact. It aims to be a vital resource that keeps NBT’s influence alive and accessible during their capital redevelopment campaign for a new building in Harlem.

Notable: This new website plays a central role in NBT’s transformation, supporting their efforts to redevelop the Harlem property into a state-of-the-art cultural destination. It highlights NBT’s programming, archives, and commitment to the Black community while serving as a cornerstone for their 21st-century vision.
