Since its first production in 2018, SAATC has been consistently increasing representation of African American theatre artists and audience members to be more reflective of the demographic diversity of the Harrisburg area community. Sankofa African American Theatre Company has strengthened the cultural and education landscape of the regional community through twelve artistically strong live theatre productions of both new and published works that have reached close to 10,000 students and adults. SAATC will continue its positive economic impact in the local community by attracting and competitively engaging BIPOC actors and staff, who would otherwise not have had access in the existing theatre community. In carrying out its mission to illuminate African American history and culture and cultivate healthy spaces for cross-cultural dialogue and learning, SAATC has formed strong collaborative partnerships with other arts established organizations in Dauphin County such as Gamut Theatre, Open Stage, WITF, The Monument Project, Theatre Harrisburg, and West Shore Theatre and West Shore Symphony Orchestra in Cumberland County to deepen the impact of our collective work for the people who live, work and consume culture in Harrisburg regional area.
