BLACK BROADWAY SUMMER | ORIGIN
“I was in conversation with Jonathan Norton [Dallas Theater Center Interim Artistic Director] about Circle Theatre and their season. When I looked on their website, I noticed that they were doing A Strange Loop in the summer…then I remembered that Stage West is doing Fat Ham the month after that. I looked at Jonathan and said ‘Well, I guess we are going to have a summer of Black Broadway shows in Dallas and Fort Worth!’ I felt really invested in making the connection with Stage West and Circle Theatre…and for all [of these shows] to be done this coming summer in DFW, is not something that happens too often.”- Ashley Oliver
To celebrate these unique and recent contributions to the American theatrical lexicon - and promote each other’s work - Fort Worth’s Circle Theatre and Stage West Theatre eagerly jumped on board.
“These are three landmark plays in their own right,” says Stage West Associate Producer Garret Storms. “Each of them played on Broadway between 2022-2023, and while they had different trajectories, they all had a massive impact - both in the dialogues they created and on the American Theatre at large. It’s such a treat to see these three groundbreaking new American plays being produced this summer on local DFW stages.”
“This partnership provides us a unique opportunity to connect and serve our community with great impact. We are all excited to be working together to provide DFW audiences a unique chance to experience works that challenge, uplift, and celebrate Black stories in ways that are both entertaining and transformative. These plays aren’t just shows—they’re conversations, reflections, and opportunities to connect on a deeper level. This summer will leave a lasting impact on our audiences, our theaters, and the communities we serve.” - Ashley H. White
