A Bridge To The Promised Land: 1968

is a gut-wrenching music theater presentation. The setting is a major southern city beset by the issues of homelessness, racial discrimination, poverty, and political gamesmanship. It has the humanitarian goal of telling the story of homelessness, economic immobility, and social inequity plaguing our inner city’s residents.

A Multimedia Theater Experience

Composed by a noted Black artist, Milton Williams, A Bridge To The Promised Land: 1968 graphically captures the struggles with social issues and discrimination that many Americans face. Packaged as an engaging multimedia art form experience, it simultaneously entertains with great music, dance, and high-tech staging, while challenging our senses and thoughts about our past and present troubled social environment.

Innovative Theater Arts

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit company, Innovative Theater Arts was formed to help highlight the social issues and discrimination that impoverished Americans - and particularly Black Americans - face in our cities and society. Its inaugural venture is the premiere production of A Bridge To The Promised Land: 1968. The first goal of the group is to support the myriad of tasks in preparation for opening night and follow-on performances of this and other similar productions.

Our Goal

Although the tangible goal of Innovative Theater Arts is assuring the near-term production of A Bridge To The Promised Land: 1968 at a suitable venue, a higher order goal is telling the story of the crisis unfolding in our major cities. Most importantly, success would be defined by this effort being remembered by future generations as one of the events that marked the turning point in focusing on the needs of the poor, homeless, and socially challenged.
