Join People Productions for a festival of plays chronicling the black experience in America. Beginning in 2010, the Edward Lewis Theater Festival began as a conversation between a number of theater companies in the Salt Lake valley who discovered they were simultaneously performing four plays about the black experience in America. It became clear that, working together, they had a rare opportunity to offer the community an extended celebration of Black History Month. Named after People Productions’ late cofounder, Edward Lewis, the festival has become an annual event showcasing voices from across America.
