Amphibian Stage is a professional live theatre company whose mission is to produce innovative & engaging plays that inspire new ideas, open new doors, and increase our understanding of the vast world around us.
Every season we produce 4 main stage plays, stand-up comedic residencies, arts education programs such as student matinees & field trips, and SparkFest - a performing arts festival each summer highlighting underrepresented groups in theater, all while committing to high standard of excellence for each of our productions.
To make theater more accessible, we offer a tiered ticket model with prices ranging from $17-62, and we host community nights for each of our plays to reach new diverse audiences. We're also a hub for creativity & community in Fort Worth's Near Southside.
Your donations, support, and advocacy helps make high-quality live professional theatre possible, and helps us add to Fort Worth's thriving arts ecosystem. Thank you for supporting Amphibian Stage.
Giving Activity
Mission
To produce innovative and engaging theatre that inspires new ideas, opens new doors, and increases our understanding of the vast world around us.
Needs
1. Increase our capacity to mentor, train and employ a greater number of artists, especially underrepresented artists. Each year we employ upwards of 200 artists.
2. Support educational institutions by complementing their arts departments through free shows, field trips, and paid internship/apprenticeship programs. Each year we host 500+ youth from local area schools and non-profits
3. Continue to share high-quality productions with arts patrons that push creative boundaries and spark conversation. Each year we produce 4 mainstage plays, at least 2 of which are regional or world premieres, develop 3 new plays as part of Spark Fest, and invite talented playwrights and crew to do their best work.
Equity Statement
We want to leave no room for doubt that we stand with all marginalized and under-represented communities. Silence is complicity. Our platform gives us a voice denied to so many. Therefore, here is our pledge to our friends in the BIPOC and LGBTQ communities, as well as Persons with Disabilities*.
We will speak up against acts and words of hate and hold individuals and institutions accountable for their actions.
We will do the work within ourselves so that we can put a stop to the institutional bias that is all-pervasive.
We will listen more and talk less when you teach us.
We will employ you, collaborate with you and help you tell your stories with the dignity and respect deserved.
We will not allow fear and systemic bias to guide our decisions.
We have been working hard to examine our own culpability and create actionable steps in the fight for change, beyond just pledges.
We invite our community to join us as we create a path forward for our theater to be an equitable, just and inclusive space.
