The Detroit Public Theatre (DPT) is a nonprofit professional theatre in Detroit, Michigan, that produces plays and programs.
Company
The DPT's mission is to "create bold, relevant work that illuminates the thrills, joys, and challenges of our shared human experience." The theatre is partially supported by the Michigan Arts & Culture Council and National Endowment for the Arts.[1]
History
The DPT was founded in 2015 by Courtney Burkett, Sarah Clare Corporandy, and Sarah Winkler, who are now producing artistic directors of the theatre. The founders created the theatre company after noticing that the city lacked an institution that was home to professional theatre with both local and national artists.[2] The DPT began producing in 2015 out of the Max M. Fisher Music Center. In 2016, it produced Detroit ’67, a play written by playwright and actress Dominique Morisseau.[2][3]
Several years after its founding, the DPT built and moved into its own theatre space at 3960 Third Street in Midtown, which opened on September 21, 2022.[2]
Community program
Shakespeare in Prison is the DPT's signature community program. This program aims to "empower[] incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people to reconnect with their humanity and that of others; to reflect on their past, present, and future; and to gain the confidence, self-esteem, and crucial skills they need to heal and positively impact their communities."[1][4][5]
