Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

The mission of Uptown Players is to present professional theater that meets a rising demand in the community for audiences to see their life experiences represented on stage. We offer diverse productions with contemporary and alternative lifestyle themes that explore complex and varied situations such as relationships, family, prejudice, and values. We present plays and musicals that challenge our audiences artistically, build cultural bridges, and strive to create greater positive public awareness and acceptance through the performing arts. There is no other theater group with this unique mission in the Dallas area.

  • Uptown Players offers equity membership candidacy (EMC) program weeks for local artists and stage managers desiring enough credit to join Actors Equity Association, the union for professional actors and stage managers. Due to the pandemic and global health crisis, Uptown Players pivoted to filming productions and streaming archival video of past productions to patrons' homes. As a result, Uptown Players provided work for 17 professional (union) actors, non-union actors, and 3 stage managers in a COVID safe film environment. During 2022, Uptown Players produced five live productions: Harvey Fierstein's Torch Song, Broadway Our Way 2022, Kinky Boots, The Little Dog Laughed, and Head Over Heels. Uptown Players also provided free online content during the pandemic, including hosting an hour long episode of Stars in the House, a national daily webcast featuring Broadway performers and regional theater work around the country. The theater has won over 25 Leon Rabin Awards and 30 Theater Critics Forum Awards in its first nineteen seasons. It has also been named the best theater company by the Dallas Voice Readers and by the Dallas Observer. It was also featured in D Magazine and on Good Morning Texas and Daybreak on WFAA.The program service expenses were play production expenses. These expenses included theater rental, royalty payments, labor for cast, crew, directors, and designers, lighting, sound, filming, editing, streaming, sets, costumes, props, travel, and ticketing expenditures.Uptown Players, Inc. productions are also supported by approximately 145 volunteers who help provide labor in various capacities in support of the theater.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
