  • 1800s The African Company / African Grove Theater
  • 1920s National Colored Plays
  • 1930s Federal Theatre Project
  • 1940s American Negro Theatre
  • 1960s Negro Ensemble Company
  • 1960s The National Black Theatre
  • 1960s Black Arts Repertory Theatre in Harlem
  • 1970s Portland Black Repertory Theatre
  • 1980s Portland Sojourner Truth Theatre Company

Today, PassinArt provides a platform for emerging and experienced African American and multicultural artists to share their craft and talents with diverse audiences.
