ROOTED IN BLACK STORYTELLING, HATTILOO'S ACTIVITIES ARE A DIAMETRICAL RESPONSE TO AMERICAN THEATRE THAT HAS LARGELY AND HISTORICALLY BEEN CONCEIVED AS A WHITE AMERICAN ART FORM DESIGNED TO TELL THE STORIES OF WHITE AMERICANS. HATTILOO'S PROGRAMS SHIFT INACCURACIES AROUND BLACK IDENTITY, WHILE SHOWCASING THE BEST THAT BLACK THEATRE HAS TO OFFER.HATTILOO IS ONE OF SEVEN FREE-STANDING BLACK THEATRES IN THE NATION, AND THE ONLY ONE IN THE MID SOUTH.
