Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre
30th Anniversary Season!
Live theatre is storytelling with flair.
You can be the "community" in Evanston's local community theatre company that is telling the stories of African Americans and Africans!
Founded in 1979, under the name of the Foster Community Theatre, Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre has been thrilling audiences with nearly three decades of unique, inspirational and invigorating African American and African Diaspora-centered storytelling. From original plays to the best of Broadway, Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre remained committed to supplying the very best in African American Theatre.
Umoja!! ….”Working Together in Unity" is the foundation from which FJT began and continues to thrive!
It is our mission to present powerful, thought provoking, community-centered Theater Arts programming with a commitment to diversity and creative excellence. We are dedicated to providing a nurturing and creative environment for directors, playwrights, set, light, and costume designers, as well as for experienced and novice performers. In this positive environment they can develop their skills and fully express their talents.
In August 2007, Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre was nominated for five Black Theatre Alliance Awards for its summer production of Sarafina! The Music of Liberation!
