"Heart Beats"
It All Began Thirty Years Ago...
In May 1992, inspired by the previous year’s first DC Black Pride Festival. ACT’s annual “DC Black Pride Weekend LGBTQ+ Theater Showcase” began with a production of an original play, "Heart Beats." It has since become a spring tradition on the last Sunday in May — during DC Black Pride weekend/Memorial Day weekend — for residents and visitors to the District alike.
