The Mission

Championing the genius of all great black playwrights of yesteryear, now and tomorrow.

The Bard of Pittsburgh African Legacy Theatre (BOP) recognises the contribution of August Wilson to global culture much like the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) acknowledges the genius of William Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon.

What we do?

BoP partners with existing organisations to facilitate the production of plays which reflect the BoP mission. Our aim is to enhance rather than initiate productions, tours and training.
