Our History
Global Theater Film and Arts Audiences has been in existence for several years and is based in New York. The theater principally stages educational and American historical narratives that have impacted the lives of people of color and others. The theater is a serious and vital American theater that tells the story of the struggles and triumphs of our people and our country’s history. The arts organization has signature productions that are quite well regarded and received, such as: Whistle in Mississippi: The Lynching of Emmett Till; The Meeting; Camp Logan; Rage, Resistance and Revelry; Harriet Tubman Herself; I, Barbara Jordan; and much more. Frequently, Global has presented historical documentaries and panel discussions after both plays and films. These sessions and events are exciting and become a great way for our youth to learn about the history of our republic.
Global Theater, Film, and Arts Audiences is asking for considerable contributions to help us through this season and help with the erection of the Black Wall Street Museum and Performing Arts Center. Gifts of contribution will go towards the education and formation of young lives through the arts. Your gifts will be acknowledged publicly in our theater programs and banners. We can have an aisle, a wing an entrance a rehearsal room, a video room, a front door and other naming rights and opportunities. Donors will have the opportunity to be presenters of our plays and other special events during our theater seasons. Too, contributors will have opportunities to sponsor primary, grammar, secondary and tertiary schools (colleges), girl and boy scout groups, Sunday school church groups, countless organizations, civic groups, senior groups, and organizations for veterans. A great and vital opportunity for civic-minded donors will be to underwrite the cost of having our plays staged for our often overlooked and marginalized citizens in juvenile and detention centers, homeless shelters, hospitals, jails and prisons.
Immediate, Short-term Goals:
- Public, private, charter and religious school students will attend our productions free of charge
- Defray the costs of complimentary admissions for primary, middle school, secondary school students
- Unemployed individuals as well as some senior citizens can also attend our productions .
- Printed programs, promotional flyers and other advertisements for our productions.
- Costs involved in distribution all promotional materials (posters, magnets, flyers, postcards) for our plays
- Fees (often confiscatory) in renting theater spaces within and without the city
- Fees for various theater space rentals (which can be costly).
- Costs for theater rehearsal spaces (which are always sorely needed)
- Truly, we need a permanent, real home for our theater
- Venues for our productions
- Electrical, audio and lighting equipment for our plays (instead of having to rent such items)
- Fees for the services of the videographer for our productions (these videos serve as learning and improving tools for our actors)
- Costumes for various theater productions (as the productions are often of a historical nature and require period costumes as well as chairs, furnishings and sets)
- Fees (small compensations) for our actors and theater personnel
- Transportation costs whenever productions are on the road and also bus and car fares for actors, theater personnel, interns, volunteers and assistants
- Incidental costs for permission to use copy written and other authorial materials
Longer Term Goals:
- Creation of the Black Wall Street Museum Educational and Performance Arts Center (BWSMEPAC). We plan to have this center ready by Autumn 2025.
- Youth Dance Lessons at BWSMEPAC
- Youth Music Lessons at BWSMEPAC
- Youth Drama Lessons at BWSMEPAC
- An after-school and community center where arts activities will be in full bloom as well as concerns of the community. The above-mentioned center is sorely lacking not only in our community in New York but in countless other cities and towns. Said center will a place where youth can be in a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment as late as 10pm nightly.
- Goals: to perform in other locations such as: Washington, D.C; Virginia; Austin, Texas; Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon; San Francisco and San Diego in California; Chicago; Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Israel; Cairo, Egypt; Rabat and Casablanca, Morocco; Nairobi and Mombasa, Kenya; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Asmara, Eritrea; Kigali, Rwanda; Kolkata and New Delhi, India; Harare, Zimbabwe; Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria; Accra, Ghana; Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire; Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania; Kampala, Uganda; Johannesburg, and Cape Town, South Africa; London and Manchester, UK; Munich and Berlin, Germany; Edinburgh, Scotland; Budapest, Hungary; Prague, Czech Republic; Sydney and Melbourne, Australia; Christchurch and Auckland, New Zealand; the Caribbean; Central America; South America and Canada.
The Black Wall Street Theater and Music Festival
The BWS Theater and Music Festival will be a series of arts events held during a week-long observation & celebration of Black achievement, including workshops on building and maintaining an economic floor for the black community. Historically, there were a number of black business districts such as in Oklahoma, Florida, and elsewhere that were burned down to the ground in the long period of catastrophic white supremacist activities (after the Reconstruction period through the early part of the 20th century).
The Black Wall Street Theater and Music Festival will require considerable financial resources to stage and to assist in our ongoing efforts to stage the Black Wall Street Museum Educational and Performance Arts Center which will celebrate the achievements of African-Americans throughout the republic's history (commencing in the 1607 Jamestown settlement or, by general acclamation, the 1619 arrival through the present day). The museum will pay tribute to the destruction of countless successful Black communities and, happily, the continuation of others that were established throughout the country from the mid to late 1800’s into the mid-20th centuries).
The Creation of the Black Wall Street Museum Educational and Performance Arts Center
We hope to have the Black Wall Street Museum Educational and Performance Arts Center erected by Autumn 2025 in the village of Harlem and will be a learning center for the community, the city, and young people throughout the tri-state area.
This center will be a place for the youth to engage in the arts and for them have a place to go as a clear alternative to getting caught up in the snares of some of the sadder activities of inner city life. The center will serve as a much needed after-school space, and it will be a safe, emotionally supporting and caring environment for our youth. Our fervent hope and prayer is that the building that will become our Performing Arts Center will be given to us as a gift from some generous soul and/or from some other source (federal, state, city, landlord, property owner or an organization). Said building will be open 7 days a week and available to the entire community and city.
Global Theater Audiences firmly believes in the transformational development of our youth and others through the arts. Therefore, we implore everyone (including organizations, corporations, companies, houses of worship, institutions, and all civic groups) who are able to make significant financial contributions of 5,000, 10,000, 25,000, 40,000 or more. It will go a long way to our immediate goals of Global Theater Audiences - and commence our path to achieving the long-term goals to create the Black Wall Street Museum Educational and Performance Arts Center.
Global Theater Audiences is of course reaching out to everyone to contribute as their budget allows. Every contribution no matter how small is significant. We thank everyone in advance for their generosity and their heartfelt contributions in creating a vision of a better world through the arts (Crucially, Global Theater Audiences operates under a 501c3 umbrella, and therefore contributions can be tax-deductible.)
Global Theater Audiences is deeply committed to educational and transformative theater. Founder and visionary J. Bailey Morgan and his staff of actors and volunteers have embarked on nothing short of building a beloved community as outlined by the late, great, enfabled, and prophetic Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (whose long, overarching, loving and enveloping shadow we live in and celebrate). Global Theater Audiences is a multicultural, multiracial undertaking. Global Theater Audiences welcomes you as a friend in making our vision and our theater yet another contribution in the creation of a desperately hoped-for world.
Urgent Global Theater Audiences and the The New Millennium Archives Are on the Verge of Losing of Our UHaul Storage Space (Locker#AA2087B in New Rochelle, NY). A contribution excess of $8500 is immediately needed to retain our storage rental space through the season. Please click the link below if you can help.

The Day Harlem Saved Dr. King
Written & Directed By Michael Green
This is a multimedia, theatrical reenactment that depicts the day, over sixty years ago, when Dr. King was nearly stabbed to death on September 20, 1958 at a book signing on 125th Street in the heart of Harlem. He was rushed to Harlem Hospital where a team of gifted doctors worked diligently to save his life. When it was learned that the assailant was a black women, everyone pondered the same question...why? Dr. King would live to tell America and the world about a dream he had and become the most celebrated icon of the Civil Rights movement.

Miracle In Rwanda:
United Nations 25th Anniversary Commemoration Show
A play crafted by Leslie Lewis and co-creator Edward Vilga, with an uplifting message of forgiveness and compassion, MIRACLE IN RWANDA is based on the life of New York Times Bestselling author of Left To Tell, Immaculee Ilibagiza. MIRACLE IN RWANDA chronicles the dramatic events of Immaculée Ilibagiza during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. The message is one of personal empowerment, of overcoming all obstacles through the power of faith, and ultimately finding peace of mind amidst unbelievable hardship. Often called “our generation’s Anne Frank”—yet one who thankfully survived—the true miracle of Immaculée’s story is her ability to forgive.
This lauded one-woman play was recently successfully staged at the Lion Theater and has been performed in North America and elsewhere for a dozen years. Too, at the invitation of the Rwandan Ambassador to the United Nations, “Miracle in Rwanda” was staged there on the occasion of the quarter century commemoration of the genocide (April 2019.)

Whistle in Mississippi: The Lynching of Emmett Till
Play Synopsis: In 1955, Emmett and his cousin, both from Chicago, went to visit family in Mississippi... according to several versions, Emmett whistled at a white woman and some say he grabbed her hand and asked her for a date; others say all he did was say 'bye, baby' as he left the store. Myths, lies and misinformation abound. Whistle in Mississippi...explores the impact of the brutal murder of Emmett Till and the powerful ripples of change that transformed our quest for the freedom into a struggle for humanity. The play also introduces a young boy whose vibrant personality and charismatic disposition always left a wrinkle in the forehead and a smile on your face.
The "Whistle In Mississippi: The Lynching of Emmett Till" production will occur Sunday 15 October 2017 at 6:00pm in Co-op City and the Black Lady theater in Brooklyn. This play is one of many in the run up to Black Wall Street Theater and Music Festival commencing Memorial Day weekend 2018. We look forward to having a large turnout and we thank you in advance. It helps in efforts to build the Black Wall Street Museum Educational & Performance Center in New York City. The fundraiser tickets are only $100.00.
Here are scenes and photos, including a video clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch ?v=I8GLa3XeZUE&authuser=0 from Whistle in Mississippi: The Lynching of Emmett Till) as well as our current and past productions over the decades:
