Karamu House

Founded in 1915, Karamu House is a place of joyful gathering, where people from different races, religions, and economic backgrounds come together through the arts. Recognized as the oldest, producing African American theatre in the nation, Karamu House is continually cited as one of Cleveland's top four treasures and featured in the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, as well as listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its mission is to produce professional theatre, provide arts education, and present community programs for all people while honoring the Black experience.
