Brenda Banda, Co-Founder and Artistic Director, ” Developed her passion for theatre at an early age. As a child, I learned that she would not allow her surroundings to determine her future. Shortly little that I knew I was a performer while singing a popular Yuri song at the age of 3 years old.”

The Urban Theatre Movement number one goal is to seek re envision theatre to involve artist’s by empowering the resident’s of the neighborhoods.

      For the plans of U.T.M.  as Paul Tully who is the Co- Founder and Producing Director calls it.

 Tully speaks about how Brenda Banda and himself came up with Urban Theatre Movement and how he started his passion of theatre.

To give them a voice and for their voice’s to be heard as they make their dreams come true.

“I don’t think that I would be of much use since I am not in their organization, nor have I seen any of their productions. From what I hear, they have been successful and I support their goals. –”Samantha Shephard ( she did not give me her major when I asked for it.)
