Description

The Public Affairs Section of U.S. Consulate General Johannesburg of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a Black History Month performance program. As part of the U.S. Mission’s commemoration of Black History Month (BHM) in February 2021, the grantee will stage a four-week (20-performance minimum) run of a thought-provoking play that addresses the African-American experience. Competitive proposals will demonstrate how the proposed play will resonate with South African audiences, and, preferably, feature a play written in the past 10 years by an African-American playwright. Preference will be given for plays that highlight American contributions to end apartheid in South Africa. Please read the full announcement before submitting an application. Applications should be emailed to JohannesburgGrants@state.gov.
