Purpose
Luminary is a Nonprofit Dinner Theatre Arts organization that brings awareness to youth issues in the community such as poverty, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, racism, sexual health services and resources. Through theatre, food, design, and arts within a multipurpose space that comes alive.
ABOUT
We work to create an arts and culture organization with social enterprise, sharing experiences centered around a commitment to create a more just society, marginalization, gentrification, and exploitation. Anti-racism and anti-oppression mentalities are essential in an ecosystem that has profited from the historic antecedent of plantation capitalism. In pursuing a synergy of art and service, we have delved into digital production and have become an interdisciplinary study for storytelling. Brings awareness to youth issues in the community such as poverty, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, racism, sexual health services and resources. Through theatre, food, design, and art within a multipurpose space that comes alive.
Vision
Luminary seeks to entertain and educate while also helping the community. Providing activities, support, and resources for youth and young adults who want to express their artistic talents. Also, brings awareness to youth issues in the community such as poverty, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, racism, sexual health services and resources. Through theatre, food, design, and art within a multipurpose space.
To fulfill this vision, we will, with the curiosity to:
