The mission of Uptown Players is to present professional theatre that meets a rising demand in the community for audiences to see their life experiences represented on stage. We offer diverse productions focusing on contemporary and alternative lifestyle themes that explore topics including diversity, relationships, family, prejudice, and values. We present plays and musicals that challenge audiences artistically, strengthen cultural bridges with the LGBTQIA+ community, and create greater positive public awareness and acceptance through the performing arts.
Uptown Players stands with acceptance and inclusivity in all communities. It is our priority at Uptown Players to give a clear voice to LGBTQIA+ artists and the rich stories they tell, to offer an inclusive platform for all artists and audiences, and to offer diverse productions that represent the life experiences of the entire LGBTQIA+ community.
Founded in 2001, Uptown Players is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, presenting plays and musicals that challenge audiences artistically and create greater positive public awareness and acceptance through the performing arts. In 2010, Uptown Players moved to the historic 490-seat Kalita Humphreys Theater on Turtle Creek. Uptown Players is one of the leading regional theaters in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and is providing an opportunity for a wide diversity of gender styles to come together and explore life choices through great theatre themes. The response from the community and critics has been remarkable, including over 25 Leon Rabin Awards from the Dallas Theatre League, and over 30 Theater Critics Forum Awards. Uptown Players has also been named the best theatre company by the Dallas Voice Readers and by the Dallas Observer and has been featured in D Magazine and on WFAA’s Daybreak and Good Morning Texas programs.
