HOW TO CONNECT TO A LARGER SCREEN TV:

Most new Smart TVs are Wi-Fi-enabled, meaning they have a wireless adapter built-in. Connecting to the web takes just a few minutes – but this option works best when your TV is in the same room as the router.

If you don't have a smart TV, you can connect your tv to the web using an HDMI cord from your laptop or phone. We've added some videos below with simple instructions. We suggest you test your connections to the web early, just in case you have to order or pick-up an adaptor or cord.

Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this page to view the connection videos. The links have also been provided below.

WHY ARE WE ASKING FOR DONATIONS?

We are asking for donations (pay what you can) to help Black artists and creatives recover from the devasting losses they suffered from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Darkened theatres, canceled shows, and terminated contracts along with LACK of or NO funding support. You name it, and Black artists and creatives have had to endure it. Today, they're still struggling.

We, at the Atlanta Black Theatre Festival, are assisting our Black artists/creatives with continued support for their essential living expenses.

If we don't, who will!?

Listen, this mission means a lot to us, and we hope you'll consider contributing generously as a way to celebrate our stories. Every bit helps. Reserve your seat today.

We pray you are safe and healthy,

The ABTF Team

Thank you!
