Founded in 1976, Penumbra wields the emotional, physical, and spiritual power of Black cultural expression to advance racial healing through nurturing Black art, promoting social equity, and inspiring creative resiliency. Once home to playwright August Wilson and standing as Minnesota’s sole Black professional theatre company, Penumbra garners national acclaim with a remarkable portfolio of nearly 200 plays and over 30 premieres, serving 40,000 patrons and 5,000 students annually. Building upon this 47-year history, the newly evolved Penumbra Center for Racial Healing, situated in the heart of Saint Paul’s Rondo neighborhood, extends its legacy through fresh artistic endeavors, robust equity and inclusion training, and wellness services.
