In just two years, we've reached 1000+ audience members and 200+ artists-in-training through our partnerships and programs. In 2026, thanks to a grant from the Dramatists Guild Foundation we are excited to multiply our impact through THE STONEHAVEN SERIES.
From January-June through 2028, we have begun to produce accessible, monthly staged readings celebrating the legacies of intersectional playwrights. Our first season's theme is a "historiography of theatre" by playwrights of color, starting at the near future, and dating back to the African Grove Theatre during the 1830s. Our second season in 2027 will transport us from the past to the present, and in 2028 we will uplift democracy-centered plays during the primary election cycle.
The Willie Agee Playhouse has made it possible for Stonehaven to permanently house its programming in Inglewood, ranging from Wellness Workshops to our annual Afrofuturist Art Fair on June 20, 2026. Our collective partnership with Melanin Mixology Bar will kick off our premiere of Cris Eli Blak’s newest play, “Sing For Me” on Jan 26. Complimentary beverages, including themed mocktails, will be served.
In order to keep our artists equitably paid and our voices heard, we need your support. Our goal is to raise 10,000 annually to produce each season.
