Benediction Productions, Inc.

Benediction Productions Inc. (formerly Citywide Youth Ministries) is a professional, non-profit theatre company located in the Charles Village/Waverly areas of Baltimore City. We have been providing quality entertainment for families in the Baltimore and tri-state regions for more than 20 years. The company was established with the purpose of blessing disenfranchised communities through the development and presentation of original African-American themed works.

Decades later, Benediction Productions, Inc. (BPI) is still committed to producing ground-breaking, entertaining and innovative art. We are not only a production company, but also a workshop where under-represented minority writers, actors and directors can explore ideas with the understanding that their works will carry on the BPI purpose: to explore who African Americans are as a people and bring them closer together.

Through our productions, training program and young artists’ workshops particularly for inner city youth, BPI continues to serve as a focal point for the talents of established and emerging playwrights, actors, directors, designers and technicians in urban America. This is not only to salute and acknowledge those have come before us and paved the way, but also to educate audiences who may not be familiar with these authors and their place in the history of American theatre.
