The Multicultural Arts Center Presents
Lift Every Voice: BIPOC Short Play Festival
October 2 - 3, 2025
8:00 PM
In honor of the 100th birthday of Malcolm X, this groundbreaking festival amplifies the voices of people of color through compelling short plays that explore themes promoting the nobility and interconnectedness of all mankind.
The festival offers an opportunity for emerging and established playwrights to share their stories. Submissions will be reviewed by a jury, with selected works brought to life on stage in a powerful showcase of talent, culture, and community.
Join us as we honor the legacy of Malcolm X by lifting every voice and creating space for the stories that inspire, challenge, and unite us all.
