Erie Theater Company was established July 8, 2014 by Dominique Denman, Kellie Turner and Kelley N. Ulmer. Because theater represents the story of our future, present, and mainly our past, these 3 women found it necessary to display African American theater and how it impacts the lives of the American, both then and now. History tells us that theater was the only way to tell the story of one nation to the next. Through our selection of projects we are eager to keep the stories flowing through the actions of the people and through the display of unseen and unnoticed artists.
