Ours; Welcome
Kwetu Theatre Arts Co. is a Black-founded, Toronto-based non-profit theatre company. Our mission is to create performative arts spaces for African, people of African descent and/or Black identifying individuals. Black actors and performers for too long have been omitted from main-stages or routinely relegated to background roles. Kwetu seeks to welcome them into the forefront. So welcome home, friend.

“…Both the actors and the story connected with the audience. Jokes and comedic pauses were perfectly timed, and the emotions in the actors’ faces and voices were well communicated...
this play is deserving of full stars.
