For a quarter-century, Stage Aurora has been a creative beacon—dedicated to producing transformative works that center the Black experience, honor our faith and heritage, and awaken the human spirit. From Jacksonville to the national spotlight, our mission has never wavered: to enlighten minds and hearts through the power of live theater. We have also expanded and have brought our vision, our voices, and our vibrant storytelling to New York City.
We will be recognizing distinguished honorees who have reflected a spirit of extraordinary leadership, visionary contributions, and enduring impact to this organization.
The evening promises national and local celebrity appearances, soul-stirring performances, a stroll down memory lane and a collective rallying cry for inclusive, inspiring theater that speaks to the soul of America. This is more than just a gala. It’s A Movement! A Moment! It’s A 25th Year Milestone!
