Mission

Mission

The Lillian Marcie Center has set out on an ambitious mission – to establish itself as the capital of Black American performance culture and extend an open invitation to individuals from across the globe to embrace the thriving artistic heritage of Bronzeville. By showcasing high-end professional performances on the Southside, we will honor the artistic history of Bronzeville and return it to the Black Metropolis.
Join us as we embark on this remarkable journey of celebrating the artistic past and embracing the promising future of Black American performance culture.

“You weren't going to the theater to change the world, but you had a chance to affect the world, the thinking and the feelings of the world.”
