Info

Founded in 1966, Freedom Theatre is Pennsylvania's oldest African-American theatre. Dallas created Freedom Rep, the professional performing company of Freedom Theatre, in 1993. Since then, Freedom has grown from a small community theatre group to an award-winning, nationally recognized regional company. It is only the second African-American theatre to join the prestigious League of Resident Theatres (LORT). In August 2000, Jamie J. Brunson, New York-based arts business consultant and award-winning playwright, was appointed New Freedom's first female managing director.
