WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Jubilee Theatre on the grand occasion of its 40th | ||
anniversary; and | ||
WHEREAS, Jubilee Theatre was founded on June 19, 1981, in | ||
Fort Worth, by Rudy and Marian Eastman; the company's founding | ||
mission was to create and produce theatrical works that give | ||
voice to the African American experience; and | ||
WHEREAS, The company began as a gypsy theater troupe that | ||
performed at such venues as Caravan of Dreams, Stage West, and | ||
Pocket Sandwich Theater; the troupe's first permanent theater | ||
was located near Texas Wesleyan University, and in 1993, Jubilee | ||
moved to a renovated theater in Sundance Square; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through the years, Jubilee Theatre has focused on | ||
improving the theater experience for its patrons and has grown | ||
and earned awards; the theater came under the umbrella of Actors | ||
Equity in 1995 and is noted for producing highly regarded | ||
original musical works; the company has also undertaken an | ||
educational program in Fort Worth schools and its initiatives | ||
have reached tens of thousands of students; and | ||
WHEREAS, Jubilee Theatre is closing its 40th anniversary | ||
season by partnering with Performing Arts Fort Worth in | ||
presenting the acclaimed musical stage production of Southern | ||
Boys: Sons of Sharecroppers at the Bass Performance Hall; this | ||
exemplary theater company is truly deserving of special | ||
recognition as it reaches this milestone in its history; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Jubilee Theatre | ||

Texas and extend to its artistic director and all company members | ||
