Main Stage Events
Eta's next production is scheduled for August 2026. Information will be added as dates are finalized.
However, we will continue to offer productions in our theater space produced by independent producers and smaller theatre companies whose work align with our mission.
Theater Production Rental
(non-affiliated)
When eta is not producing its own productions, our 200 seat theater is available for rental. These rentals operate independently of eta's programming, branding, and management, but align with eta's mission of elevating the voices of Black playwrights, ensuring our space is open to the community, and that we continue to tell our story in "first voice" - even when it's not an eta production.
* These ticket sales are NOT managed through eta's box office. Eta's established discounts, including but not limited to group, senior, student, subscription services or membership discounts do not apply to independent production rentals utilizing our space.
*These ticket sales are managed independently and separately from eta Creative Arts Foundation. You will be routed to a third-party ticketing website and any refunds or ticket disputes must be resolved with the independent producers of the applicable production.
Hear My Cry
Written by Larry Smith

Hear My Cry is a moving and emotional stage play that shines light on the silent battles many women face. This production tells the story of strength in the middle of suffering, faith in the middle of fear, and hope in the middle of pain.
Through powerful storytelling, heartfelt performances, and raw emotion, Hear My Cry invites the audience into the realities of struggle, survival, and healing. This is more than a play. It is an experience that speaks to resilience, womanhood, community, and the power of being seen and heard.
Come support an unforgettable evening of theater, purpose, and impact.
