A LEGENDARY DEDICATION
Our founder, George Hawkins, started The Ensemble Theatre as a modest and constantly mobile enterprise — driving around the vast city of Houston in a station wagon filled with costumes and stage props to present performances at schools, churches and community centers.

The Ensemble is now one of the nation's largest African-American theatres, owning and operating its own facility. Such a great accomplishment is accompanied by great responsibilities.


THE CIRCLE IS FORMED
If you're a patron of the fine arts, you know excellent entertainment relies on exceptional financial supporters. The Ensemble Theatre Founder's Circle is calling on exceptional patrons like you. Composed of a group of diverse investors, donors and stewards, The Founder's Circle is committed to ensuring The Ensemble Theatre continues as Houston's premier center for African-American artistic expression enriching, enlightening and entertaining our diverse community.

 

CONTINUING THE LEGACY
The Founder's Circle welcomes new members who share our commitment to ensure:

• The Ensemble can sustain the financial resources necessary to support artistic excellence and to fulfill its artistic endeavors.
• The Ensemble can enhance its educational and youth-oriented programs to encourage children to express themselves and develop their creative potential.
• The Ensemble can continue as a platform for emerging actors, playwrights and future visionaries.
• The Ensemble can continue for many generations as a beacon of cultural understanding and great entertainment.
