All events for Black History Month at Left Edge Theatre
March 2026
Black History Month at Left Edge Theatre celebrates powerful storytelling with a production that blends wit, spontaneity, and emotional honesty. The play Proud to Present (abridged from its full title about the Herero of Namibia and German colonial history) is a meta-theatrical exploration of race, privilege, and the complexities of historical narrative.
Six actors attempt to portray the genocide of the Herero people, but the rehearsal evolves into a confrontation about perspective and the challenges of storytelling itself. Through moments that are both humorous and deeply moving, the production invites reflection on history and human understanding.
