Study Guides are now available, free of charge HERE. Penumbra Theatre Company productions encourage and facilitate a culturally diverse and all-inclusive America by using theatre to teach, criticize, comment and model. Our study guides are meant to contextualize thematic and social or historical elements of our productions, helping to explain our interest in the work we do and why we think it is important. They are educational tools, reference materials and offer first hand accounts from the artists as to their experience with each production.

Penumbra's national tour of Grandchildren of the Buffalo Soldiers by William S. Yellow Robe, Jr. closed with a performance at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC and in New York City. This Penumbra co-production with Trinity Repertory Company opened Penumbra's 2005-2006 Season with its US premiere before launching on a national tour. The tour traveled to small towns, reservations, and major cities of the Midwest and along the Mid-Atlantic seaboard. At each stop the response to the cast and the play was extremely powerful. Yellow Robe said, "I've always been amazed that when we perform in different communities, some community members will come up to me and say, 'You know that's exactly what happened to my son' or 'That's what happened to my nephew' or 'That's the very issue that I'm having problems with now.'" Penumbra is extremely proud to have been a part of this important and seminal work.

Salute to Lou Bellamy, featuring the music of Moore by Four, rocked the house with host T. Mychael Rambo on January 11, 2006 at the Dakota Jazz Club. This benefit, produced annually by Penumbra's board, honored Lou for receiving the first ever Ameriprise Ivey Award for Lifetime Achievement. Sponsored by Lockridge Grindal Nauen PLLP and organized by long time board memebers Phyllis Goff and Stew Widdess, the benefit was highly successful. The great news is that all new donations were matched by the Bush Foundation, allowing the dollars to go twice as far! Thanks to everyone who made this event so special for Lou and Penumbra.
