BNS Productions
Charlotte's Only Black Repertory Theatre Company
What began as a simple “what if” has grown into one of the most celebrated performing arts companies in Charlotte, NC, and beyond. Since opening our doors in 2013, BNS Productions has captivated audiences nationwide with award-winning performances that center and celebrate the African American experience.
Founded by Artistic Director, Producer, and Playwright Rory D. Sheriff, BNS Productions is committed to uplifting our communities and embodying a standard of excellence. From winning A Taste of Theatre in Chicago to multiple Metrolina Theatre Association Awards - and even making history at the National Black Theatre Festival in Winston-Salem – our work continues to be recognized on regional and national stages.
Beyond the stage, we are passionate about education and outreach, offering workshops, masterclasses, and community programming that cultivate emerging talent and engage new audiences in meaningful ways.
We remain deeply grateful for every opportunity and for the unwavering support of our community, which continues to inspire the stories we tell and the impact we strive to make.
Our Mission
BNS Production’s Mission is to inspire, help, teach, and learn together as we heal and love each other. We aspire to educate, amaze, and inform through the creation and performance of relevant and provocative African American theater productions. We follow through on our commitment to serving the underserved in our community.
