Amphibian Stage is thrilled to announce its 2025 season, packed with powerful plays and returning audience favorites, alongside a pivotal leadership transition that ushers in an exciting new chapter for the organization. After 25 years as Founding Artistic Director, Kathleen Culebro has passed the torch to Jay Duffer, formerly the Co-Artistic Director.  Elizabeth Kensek joins Amphibian Stage as Managing Director.  Both Duffer’s and Kensek’s roles go into effect on January 1, 2025. Kensek will work closely with Duffer and the Board of Directors to guide the organization’s future.

Amphibian Stage is pleased to announce the appointment of Elizabeth Kensek as Managing Director, effective January 1, 2025. Elizabeth will begin transitioning into her role during the run of The Amazing, Fabulous, and Spectacular Untruths of Juan Garcia this October and November, where patrons may see her assisting in box office and house management.
 
Elizabeth Kensek’s appointment comes as the organization bids farewell to its founding Artistic Director, Kathleen Culebro, who will step down at the end of this year after 25 years of leadership. Elizabeth will collaborate closely with the newly appointed Artistic Director, Jay Duffer, and the Board of Directors to oversee the theater’s business operations, administration, and daily activities. Together, they will ensure Amphibian Stage’s continued financial health, artistic quality, and commitment to its mission.

Marking a quarter-century of theatrical excellence, we are proud to unveil our much-anticipated 2024 season lineup, set to kick off on February 2. This announcement comes shortly after the conclusion of the 2023 season, which featured a landmark inaugural acting competition, a co-production of unparalleled scale, and a successful rollout of a tiered ticketing model.

The 2024 season will showcase an exceptional range of never-before-seen theatrical experiences, pushing the boundaries of storytelling and inviting audiences to engage in new ways. In one season, audiences can participate in a séance, jam out to a gospel/rock concert, and travel to the glittering city of Oaxaca…all right in the heart of Fort Worth’s thriving South Main Street.

A radical change to our ticket pricing model in an effort to make theatre accessible for any budget. 

“This new pricing model is our way of breaking down barriers to live theatre and taking steps to welcome all. Money should not prevent anyone from enjoying the healing effects of the arts.” – Kathleen Culebro, Artistic Director
