Fort Worth honors Amphibian Stage's 25th anniversary with recognition ceremony

Amphibian Stage celebrated its 25th anniversary at the Fort Worth City Council meeting on June 10, 2025, with a heartfelt recognition from Council Member Elizabeth Beck. The independent theater company, a cornerstone of Fort Worth's cultural scene since its founding in 2000, has made significant contributions to the arts, transforming the South Main Village into a vibrant cultural hub.

Beck highlighted Amphibian Stage's commitment to innovative and thought-provoking performances that reflect the city's diverse spirit. The theater has gained national acclaim for its dedication to high-quality productions and community engagement, including the launch of Sparkfest in 2021, which supports emerging playwrights and underrepresented voices.

Duffer, a representative from Amphibian Stage, expressed gratitude for the recognition, emphasizing the theater's role in enhancing Fort Worth's arts ecosystem. He noted the organization's impressive achievements, including hosting renowned artists and producing world premieres, all accomplished by a dedicated team of just five full-time staff members.

As Sparkfest approaches, Duffer invited the community to participate in the festival, which will showcase a variety of artistic expressions and highlight indigenous artists this year. The celebration of Amphibian Stage's anniversary underscores its vital role in enriching Fort Worth's cultural landscape and fostering creativity within the community.
