As a young Afro-Latino boy growing up in Brooklyn, NY, during the early '90s, theater was an important tool that helped Najee Brown imagine a better world in the midst of increased violence due to the crack epidemic. He saw that performing arts could facilitate a safe environment, where people felt free enough to express themselves and their social justice views through storytelling on stage. In that spirit, Brown recently founded Theater For the People to provide that same outlet and opportunities for today's youth and adults, especially in cities that either lack diversity or include communities of marginalized people. He brings this entrepreneurial and creative energy now to the Multicultural Arts Center.
