THE STAGE IS WAITING.

Soon the lights will come up. The room will grow quiet. And another story will begin.
Rhode Island, we’re coming.

DON'T JUST WATCH

You can see the pictures later.
You can watch the videos.
You can hear everybody talk about what happened.
But there's one thing you can't recreate:
Being there.
Being in the room when the story lands.
Hearing the laughter.
Feeling the energy.
Seeing old friends.
Making new ones.

Experiencing Black storytelling surrounded by people who understand its power.
This November, don't just watch NABS happen.

COME EXPERIENCE IT.
