We are Houston's first and only 10-minute play festival to celebrate the new works of African-American playwrights! We are growing by leaps and bounds and would love to have you join our great organization.

ABOUT

Us

Fade To Black Play Festival is groundbreaking! When we started we did so with the desire to create something “wonderful”! A team of local directors, actors, and volunteers used their talents to open doors of opportunity for emerging Black playwrights. Suddenly our humble play festival was on its feet and forging onward! From that moment on, we have never looked back!
