Akbar Abdul Aziz is the Chair and Co-Founder of an advocacy initiative dedicated to HIV/AIDS awareness and anti-violence efforts. He is the author and playwright of Devastating Impact, a production designed to highlight social issues on stage, screen, television, and in print. His work blends education with entertainment, using diversity, cultural exchange, and intergenerational dialogue as powerful forces for change. Akbar comes from a family with a strong legacy of leadership and creativity. His mother was a trailblazer who worked alongside Rev. Leon Sullivan in establishing the Opportunity Industrialization Center, Inc. (OIC). His uncle, Ellsworth Wright, played a pivotal role in breaking barriers on 42nd and Broadway, opening opportunities for cultural icons such as Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte. Akbar is also the cousin of acclaimed writer Richard Wright, author of Native Son. Throughout his career, Akbar has written seven Soul Operas, a genre confirmed and praised by his uncle. He later transitioned to film writing, producing numerous screenplays, including the unfinished project The Day the Hood Stood Still, along with other deeply moving stories. Though now blind and unable to write, Akbar’s legacy endures. His vision, creativity, and voice continue to inspire, and it remains a collective hope that he will live to witness one of his powerful productions fully realized.
Islah Abdul Aziz CEO– Theatrical Journey - My theatrical journey began at Quest Theatre (1986–1987) under the apprenticeship of the renowned Betty Waldren, who starred in many beloved television sitcoms such as Sanford and Son (with Redd Foxx), The Jeffersons, and All in the Family, as well as several films. After returning from Hollywood, Betty founded The Quest Theatre and wrote the play Unfinished Revolution. I was blessed to be part of the cast, performing two roles, and we toured across Palm Beach County, bringing the production to more than 85 schools. From there, I continued my training at Actors Rep (1987–1989), an institution known for its high-quality productions under the directorship of Connie Akins. I began humbly as a gofer for the production of Lysistrata, directed by English-born Roy Henderson, who had come from the Burt Reynolds Jupiter Theatre. Roy became a mentor, teaching me every aspect of theater — from stage management, lighting, sound, and set construction to costumes and even the box office. I will forever be grateful to Betty Waldren, Roy Henderson, and later, the inspiration of Vinette Carroll. Much of my growth also came from producing my own theatrical productions and engaging directly with the community. Along the way, I learned that every collaboration is a two-way exchange — we all have something to teach, and we all have something to learn. For this, I thank God, for the lessons, experiences, and people who shaped my path in the theater.
Debbie Hannah: Stage Manager Debbie has been with the Theatre for many years. She is very dedicated and a hard worker. Debbie has a deep desire to learn all aspects of the theatre; sound, lighting, scenery designer and more she is a great asset to the company and very dependable. We are so Blessed and happy to have Debbie Hanna as a team Player. and a hard worker. She is determine to serve and save lives.
