Mixed Magic also produces a set of regular programs, including Rise to Black, a theater series featuring scenes from the works of black artists and the Exult Choir, the theatre's resident choir, formed in 2006.The theatre has attracted international attention for producing Moby Dick: Then and Now, an interpretation of Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick by Ricardo Pitts-Willey. The production featured two casts, an adult company that portrayed the Melville version of the story, and a youth cast where the actors portrayed a story where the white whale is cocaine.
