OUR MISSION.
The Griot Theater Company is more than a theater company. We are a collective of artists, educators, and entrepreneurs committed to exploring, embracing, and amplifying brown and black culture through the arts. We are the Griots of our time; storytellers, artists, and historians. We are responsible for salvaging our culture, which has fought to exist.
GTC is the pipeline for brown and black artists of Marin and works with artists from fifth grade to adulthood. We seek to partner with agencies and individuals to preserve our community's art, history, and other literacies. We have several Programs to sustain our pipeline and purpose.
“If theater is the reflection of life onstage, then our stage will reflect every race, gender, and age.”
— LeShawn, Founding Artistic Director

The Griot Theater Company seeks to work with Marin City Youth to amplify and applaud their unique voices. We hope to reach each ensemble member's cultural background to recognize their cultural influences in the arts, their community, and the world. We aim to be the organization that shines a spotlight on student voices and allows them to be seen, heard, and understood.
