The Live Garra Theatre Company features full-length productions, play readings, acting seminars, internships, workshops, lectures, and question & answer discussions.
Live Garra Theatre is dedicated to increasing awareness, preserving the unique legacy of the African-American heritage; contributing to the survival of Black Theatre. Why Black Lives Matter...
