Our History

Voices From The Earth, Inc. is a theater arts organization based in Thomas, WV that has been serving the community since 1991. Our touring programs offer performances, lectures, workshops and retreats in storytelling and the performing arts.

Our Mission 

To heighten community awareness and educate the general public to the performing arts through the development, support, and production of musical, theatrical, and dance performances: to encourage interest in and give voice to the history, tradition, language and movement of the greater community through the performing arts; and to collaborate with and train artists and other community members in writing, directing, staging and performing. Our mission is to collect, frame, and preserve American, particularly African American History through its culture and artistic expression, and to keep alive those voices in danger of being lost.
