- About Me:
- In 1989, Dale Madison co-founded two non profit theatre companies: Actors Against Drugs (AAD); and Umoja Sa! Sa! Storytellers. AAD received national attention when it was the first theatre company to broadcast live through the entire Social Security system as a part of a campaign to combat employee substance abuse. His second company, Umoja Sa!Sa! Storytellers traveled through out the East Coast and taught children about African culture through storytelling.
Due to his magnetic personality, Dale earned a position at the QVC network as one of the original Fashion Channel hosts in 1991. Not content just being a host, he created and produced the successful African Marketplace shows, as well as Destination: Africa. In the program, he sold his own line of hand-made African inspired dolls. These live 2-hour events attracted more African American viewers to the shopping channel markets and lead to the development of similar shows on BET and other cable programs. And this began the journey into Dale foray into producing and the world of business.
In 1994, Dale took a brief hiatus from the world of entertainment and opened his own chain of African gift stores in Baltimore and Virginia Beach called AND= art-n-design, which showcased his hand made dolls and other handmade art pieces. Then, because of his previous community service and entertainment, Dale was tapped by the Baltimore City Health Department to create an AIDS awareness/prevention campaign directed towards the African-American community. One of the many efforts to come out of that program was a public service announce that he wrote, cast, directed and produced starring Mayor Kurt Smoke.
Not too long after that the acting bug bit again and Dale was back on stage in his award-winning and critically acclaimed one-man play FREEda Slave: Mask of a Diva. This play helped to hone Dale’s talents as not only a performer, but also as a producer, as he formed a partnership with Filmsnoir Motion Pictures. His involvement with Filmsnoir greatly influenced the short films, Why You Run Away, October 16, 1989, and the award-winning feature film Detention. Furthering developing his skills. Mr. Madison was involved in the development and production of a variety of projects such as The Historic East Baltimore Domestic Violence Community Project a program that provided jobs in the entertainment field for at-risk youth.
he has just finished his memoirs and produced an award-winning documentary on it called:
