BECOME A VOLUNTEER AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Volunteers play a crucial role in our theater. Volunteers contribute their time and skills to our theater and filling gaps that might otherwise go unmet. Volunteers help drive positive change and foster a sense of community and collaboration. Their dedication and selflessness can have a profound impact on our theater and our community. Check out different ways to get involved!
BOARD MEMBERSHIP
As a board member you will make a significant contribution to one of less than three theaters in Ward 8. Board members are responsible for governance, strategic planning, and overseeing the organization’s overall health and direction. This often includes setting policies, approving budgets, and ensuring the organization meets its mission. For more information email us at admin@anacostiaplayhouse.com.
BLACK THEATER COUNCIL
The Black Theater Council plays an essential role in enhancing and preserving programming that is both reflective of and responsive to the diverse needs of our community. By championing works that highlight Black voices and narratives, the Council ensures that our theater not only serves but also celebrates the rich cultural heritage and experiences of Black artists and audiences. The Council’s initiatives contribute to a more inclusive and representative artistic environment, offering opportunities for powerful storytelling that resonates with a wide range of community members. Its efforts are instrumental in maintaining the relevance and vibrancy of our programming, ensuring that our theater remains a dynamic platform for cultural expression and dialogue.

CULTURAL COLLABORATIONS COMMITTEE
The Cultural Collaborative Committee plays a pivotal role in fostering creativity and synergy within our community by spearheading collaborative programs and productions with other cultural organizations. This committee serves as a bridge, bringing together diverse cultural entities to create dynamic and innovative projects that might not be possible individually. Through its efforts, the committee amplifies the impact of each participating organization, facilitating resource sharing, and encouraging cross-disciplinary partnerships. These collaborations not only enrich our cultural landscape but also engage a broader audience, enhancing community connections and support for the arts.
