Presented by Epoch Tribe, The Men Inside is a live, on-stage production that tells the stories of the paths of Black men who have become change-makers in their community. The 2023 show was presented by Epoch Tribe in partnership with the Levine Museum of the New South, the Harvey B. Gantt Center and Smithsonian S.I.T.E.S.

Originally inspired by the 2023 exhibition, Men of Change: Power. Triumph. Truth., the heart of the show is rooted in deeply personal stories and open-hearted truths of Black men. It's a full-on display of their emotional and interpersonal journeys, as well as a beautiful and bold theatrical exploration of the hearts and minds of Black men through the lens of their life narratives. Through the stories of a few, we see connections to many.
