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:

  • Entertain, engage and inspire our audience, our community and the greater human community by presenting bold, cutting edge and unique theatrical pieces that speak to the LGBTQIA+, People of Color,  and the rest of the community as a productive whole.
  • Examine our individual and collective accountability for our society and community, exposing the beauty and dignity of all people.
  • Ignite and celebrate the unfailing hope and triumph of the human spirit.
  • Challenge the traditional hierarchies of how theatre is made, and how other forms of art collaborate with each other to improve each other.

What audiences can expect:

  • Amazing productions of contemporary plays, locally written, local entertainment and fun
  • Original projects/events/experiences
  • A spirit of experimentation
  • Affordable ticket prices
  • Good food and good time
