Shabach Enterprise's Fade To Black Reading Series returns for its sixth year. A Sunday matinee has been added.

Fade To Black is Houston's first and only short play festival to showcase the new works of Black playwrights. Each year, as we bring more programs to life, the Fade To Black movement grows! We have already produced the plays of over 250 amazing playwrights and utilized the talents of our culturally diverse theatre community of local actors and directors.
