Theater in the Yard …

Theater in the Yard includes all the programs offered in the yard — Annual Shakespeare in the Yard and the Summer Theater Program

Ayodele Nzinga, Director

In 2001, the backyard of PJCCE was converted to a 2,000 sq.ft. outdoor theater with seating capacity for 100. Twice a year we offer one theater production by a person of color and an "urban adaptation" of one of the works of Shakespeare, also called "Shakespeare in the Yard."

Sister Thea Bowman Memorial Theatre Productions

The Prescott-Joseph Center and our Sister Thea Bowman Memorial Theatre will continue to celebrate the great August Wilson's legacy by bringing two more of his acclaimed Pittsburg Cycle: "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" and "The Piano Lesson."
