Testimonials from Partners

"We were honored to partner with Pink Umbrella Theater Company. As Black Arts MKE continues to grow and blossom into the beautiful inclusive platform that it is, we embrace beings from every walk of life. This year Pink Umbrella Theater Company graced us with sponsorship for our kickoff Milwaukee Black Theater Festival: Youth and Family Night. Long story short, it was a HIT! So many parents, family, and friends thought it was a wonderful touch that brought a sparkle to the night creating a safe space for children and families to go as a cool down, yet fun location as part of the festivities for the evening. Molly and Rebekah were the sweetest greeting everyone with smiles and a strong support system to continue to live out both, Pink Umbrella Theater Company and Black Arts MKE missions."
