We are honored to share that on April 9, our L.A. production of Debate: Baldwin vs. Buckley received two NAACP Theatre Award nominations: Best Ensemble and Best Director.

“This year’s nominees embody the brilliance, resilience, and transformative power of Black storytelling… artists whose voices continue to shape culture and move audiences in profound ways.”

We’re proud to be included among this year’s nominees and so grateful to our collaborators at Ebony Rep and L.A. cast Teagle F. Bougere, Eric T. Miller, Cole Wagner, and Frankie Zabilka.

2026 so far. Two London runs we won’t forget.

Debate at Wilton’s Music Hall and Our American Queen at Bridewell. Incredible actors, full rooms, and a very good excuse to cross the Atlantic.

What’s next for tav builds from here. It’s work that explores a central question: How do individuals and cultures respond when the structures that once seemed stable begin to change or collapse?

More to come soon!
