Our Vision
Our vision is to illuminate, celebrate, and advance Black theatre by actively engaging our entire community. We seek to promote powerful stories of the Black experience, involve people of all ages in the creative process, and educate audiences through performances, workshops, and conversations that inspire understanding, pride, and lasting social change.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide, involve, and educate residents of Wilmington, North Carolina and surrounding area in the performing arts through Black theatre, to bridge the cultural gap by providing theatrical productions to minority communities as well as the local community; to actively promote and produce public performances and productions arising out of the Black Experience within all age levels; and to provide an opportunity for the members of the Willis Richardson Players to develop, perform, and supervise dramatic arts.
