After having to indefinitely suspend its Off-Broadway run of Esai’s Table at Cherry Lane Theatre in New York due to the Covid-19 pandemic, JAG Productions has continued to garner support in the community and afar in order to keep Vermont and New Hampshire’s only Black theater alive.

JAG Productions and Pride Center of Vermont will close out Vermont’s Pride week with OUT HERE, a live-stream showcase of regional BIPOC LGBTQ+ artists on Sunday, September 13 at 7 p.m.

The murder of George Floyd, Tony McDade, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery —and countless others—is part of a long history of anti-black state-sanctioned violence in the United States. This violence is woven into the fabric of our nation through structural attacks on Black, Indigenous, POC and LGBTQ members of our society. We must actively work to end it.

In the midst of this coronavirus moment, you may know by now the heartbreaking news that JAG’s co-production with Esai’s Table at Cherry Lane Theater in New York is indefinitely postponed. JAG Productions is tremendously vulnerable and is experiencing the fierce urgency of this moment. Please consider making a meaningful donation to support our work at JAG Productions, as we face the financial blowback resulting from the coronavirus.

The founder of JAG Productions describes the theater company’s newest play, "Esai's Table," as a story of three young men on a mystical journey. They are guided by another mysterious man who gives the play its title.

What does it mean to create a space for African American theatre in Vermont? From taking up space, to holding space and creating brave spaces, space is political, and JAG has been carving it fearlessly. 

JAG Productions closed its inaugural season with an enormous honor: as the 2017 recipient of the New England Theatre Conference's (NETC) Regional Award for Outstanding Achievement in the American Theatre. The award is given once a year in recognition of regional theaters that have perpetuated theatrical excellence.
