About Sankofa

The Sankofa Collective began as the The Bayou Theatre Company (hereafter referred to as BTC) in 2013, a theatrical arts organization established to utilize the performing arts as an outreach and entertainment source to the underserved population of the Northwest Houston community and beyond.

Our Mission

To expose the community to the benefits of theatre, educate at-risk youths and adults of color to the power of creativity, and to culturally enrich the masses with our art form. 

8,600 + estimated attendees

Sankofa Collective has exposed many patrons to the world of theatre virtually and in person and expanded the perspective around theatre for minorities in the Houston area since 2013.
