Black History Month Performance Program: 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.
