Our Needs

We’re raising $30,000 to support our exciting 2025/2026 season — our milestone 30th year!
For three decades, Soul Rep has been creating transformative, entertaining theatre that showcases the work of Black artists. This year’s season includes two incredible plays by August Wilson, a brand-new piece by a local Dallas playwright, and a New Play Festival featuring Soul Rep classics alongside fresh work from HBCU alumni and students.
Your support also helps fund our arts education programs, including Liberation Laboratory for youth and adult master classes in playwriting, acting, and directing.
