The stories we tell on stage often reflect the relationships that shape us offstage.

This Father's Day, we're celebrating the fathers, father figures, and mentors whose love and support leave a lasting impact!!🙌🏿

Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom, honor the resilience of those who fought for liberation, and reflect on the enduring struggle for equity and justice.🙌🏿

At Detroit Public Theatre, we believe in the power of storytelling to uplift voices, spark dialogue, and inspire change. We are proud to champion stories that center Black experiences, celebrate Black excellence, and imagine Black futures.

From stories of history and resistance to stories of joy, love, family, and community, these works remind us why representation on our stages matters.

Today, we celebrate the Black artists whose words have shaped our theatre and the generations of storytellers who continue to move us forward.

Happy Juneteenth!!🖤❤️💚
