Program areas at Detroit Public Theatre

During the year ended july 31, 2023, the Detroit Public Theatre moved into its new home at 3960 third avenue. The organization produced four shows in its new space, produced a tour of "Detroit '67", which traveled around Michigan and throughout the Detroit Public schools, launched a subsidized artists residency program, continued to run its "shakespeare in prison" program, and initiated rentals in its space. The organization's primary programming is its productions, of which the organization performed five in this past season and served over 9,000 audience members.
The Detroit Public Theatre collaborated with the Detroit Public schools community district to bring "Detroit '67" to four Detroit Public schools. Students from cass technical high school, renaissance high school, cody high school, and the Detroit school of the arts were brought the production of "Detroit '67" directly to their schools, along with in-class lessons and a talkback after the performance.
After a prison-wide pause in live programming due to covid-19, shakespeare in prison ("sip") was able to resume its in-person work at the women's huron valley correctional facility in january 2023. Sip's re-entry program, "shakespeare reclaimed", engages alumni of the program and provides opportunities for personal and professional development, including work opportunities with the Detroit Public Theatre as independent contractors.
