Dear Crossroads Family,

This season, we are grateful for our Crossroads community and extend our wishes for a wonderful a holiday season. We are also happy to share that today is #GIVINGTUESDAY!

In 1978, Two young men sat in a bar, well a resturant with a bar. It was there where they wrote a vision of a theatre organization that nearly 50 years later would change the trajectory of not just the American theatre but impact the entire entertainment industry. Our founders, Ricardo Khan and Lee Kenneth Richardson, understand that if they built it, we would come.

Today, we still exist with the same ethos and understanding that we can provide our community with a space where our authenitic portrayals and reflections of our collective humanity can stand to shape that future of the world in which we all wish to coexist. We can be a santuary for our artists and provide a nuturing system of support for the next generation. We can continue to thrive as a repository for classic works by African American playwrights and other diasporic voices.

But we cannot do that with out you. Your continued support enables us to secure our infrastructure that enables us to deliver on our mission and become the global ambassador for diasporic storytelling, fostering new voices, new ideas for our beautifully vibrant future!

All contributions are tax-deductible and will be matched via our friends at Givebutter at 1% enabling you to increase your impact.

Thank you for standing with us to support the future of our work!

With Gratitude,

Ezra Ezzard
Managing Director
