Welcome To The Jubilee Theatre!
Our mission is to amplify the African American experience and unite a multicultural community by celebrating the richness of our heritage through powerful theatrical works.
At the heart of Jubilee are our core values, expressed through F.I.R.E.:
Foster a Multicultural Community: We aim to spark cross-cultural dialogue and deepen mutual understanding through shared artistic experiences.
Inspire and Invest in Artists: We are committed to nurturing emerging talent—actors, directors, designers, and playwrights—throughout the DFW area.
Reflect the African American Experience: We believe African American stories are American stories. Our work highlights this truth, creating space for universal connection and resonance across all communities.
Elevate New Works: We support the development of new plays and build pipelines that connect artists to theatres across the country.
What makes Jubilee Theatre unique is our ability to serve as a cultural hub, a place where people from all walks of life come together to laugh, cry, engage, and explore. In doing so, we deepen the meaning of community and enrich its value.

Building Block 1: Building Education – Goal: $50,000
The first cornerstone of this campaign is Building Education. With your help, we will raise $50,000 to underwrite transformative educational programming such as Jubilee Theatre’s Junior Master Class, serving Fort Worth ISD students in grades 6–12 through performance-based workshops that cultivate confidence, creativity, and collaboration.
We also aim to:
* Launch a Summer Arts Integration Camp, serving at least 50 students.
* Subsidize 200 student tickets, ensuring access to live theatre for students at all educational levels
This block supports the future artists and audiences of tomorrow, helping us educate through engagement and inspire through access.
Building Block 2: Building New Works and New Talent – Goal: $75,000
Jubilee Theatre has always been a platform for bold voices and untold stories. The second building
block of our campaign focuses on nurturing new works and new talent across the Dallas-Fort
Worth Metroplex.
With a goal of $75,000, we aim to:
* Develop two new theatrical works annually.
* Launch advanced training programs for emerging talent, creating professional pathways
for local artists.
* Deepen our commitment to equity by hiring more Actors’ Equity Association (AEA)
members, striking a balance between union and non-union performers.
This block affirms Jubilee’s role as an incubator for innovation and excellence in Black storytelling
and performance.
Building Block 3: Building Infrastructure and Capacity – Goal: $150,000
No great theatre can thrive without a strong internal foundation. This block is about building
infrastructure and capacity—investing in the people and systems that power our productions and
community impact.
Your support will allow us to:
* Expand our administrative and production staff, bolstering our ability to deliver high-quality, impactful programming.
* Establish the Jubilee Theatre Endowment, ensuring financial stability and organizational
longevity for decades to come.
At 45 years strong, Jubilee Theatre is ready to build toward the next 45. This block secures the
structure that allows all other blocks to stand.
At Jubilee Theatre, we are committed to fostering an environment that embodies diversity. We believe in the power of the arts to bring people together, and we strive to reflect the rich diversity of our community in everything we do.
Our commitment to equity means:
Representation: We ensure that our programming, staffing, and leadership reflect the diverse voices and experiences of our community, particularly those historically underrepresented in the arts.
Accessibility: We are dedicated to making our theatre accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status, physical ability, or background. This includes accommodating diverse needs, and removing barriers to participation.
Education and Advocacy: We educate our audience, staff, and partners on issues of equity and inclusion, advocating for systemic changes within the arts and beyond.
Safe Space: We cultivate a safe, welcoming, and respectful environment where all individuals feel valued and heard. Harassment and discrimination have no place in our theatre.
We acknowledge that achieving equity is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to continuous learning, self-reflection, and action. We invite our community to join us in this essential work, ensuring that Jubilee Theatre remains a beacon of inclusivity and social justice.
