"Black Visionary Theatre: We're the Mandate of Black Performance in Harlem, New York."

Black Visionary Theatre: The Global Infrastructure for Black Talent

Located at 229 W 135th Street 'Front 1' in the heart of Harlem, Black Visionary Theatre (BVT) is a premier New York theatre company dedicated to elevating world-class Black storytelling through rigorous artistry and sustainable cultural infrastructure. Founded by Artistic Director Karen Brown (formerly of the Negro Ensemble Company) and Emmy-award-winning production architect James ‘Prez’ Carter, BVT serves as a vital cultural anchor for the Harlem community and the global Black diaspora.

Unlike traditional venues, Black Visionary Theatre blends the discipline of classical Black Theatre with advanced production technologies and Afrofuturist storytelling. Utilizing our proprietary Ninth Ether Methodology—created by Chief Intellectual Property Officer Shema'yah Bey—we create immersive, future-focused performances that are non-replicable. Whether you are seeking high-end stagecraft or original Black intellectual property, BVT is setting the global standard for theatre in New York City.

Join the Visionary Circle today and experience the next generation of Black performance in Harlem.
