We provide an arena for discussion about such issues as violence in schools, racism and race relations, the needs of the handicapped, the dangers of the internet, and the effects of war on society, to name just a few. In conjunction with these plays, we offer workshops and talkbacks. We are also proud of our focus on youth. As funding for arts education in the schools diminishes, it is particularly important for arts groups to fill children's need for creative self expression. The increase in the application request is directly in proportion to the decrease in city, county, state and federal funding for the arts. At a time when many companies are discussing the graying of the American theatre audience, Amphibian is known to be the only company in Fort Worth that specifically targets the under-forty demographic for its main stage productions. We seek out relationships with different organizations such as Samaritan House, Q Cinema, United Community Centers and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in order to introduce their members to theatre. 29920 2985 Amphibian Productions outreach project is Jumbies Fort Worth! Since 2008, this program grew from reaching 3,000 to 10,000 at-risk schoolchildren in underserved schools. Our Jumbies Fort Worth! is mainly staffed with local teachers and schoolchildren from D McRae Elementary School & Everman Middle School. This now allows Amphibian to bring this exciting program of the ancient art of Arican stilt dancing to under-served schools throughout the year. This performance schedule, broadened from one week, will afford many opportunities to the children, including travel to experience the world beyond their immediate environment and the opportunity to learn a skill that may some day develop into a revenue generator for themselves and their family. Amphibian's outreach is designed specifically for children of all ages who attend schools that have been designated as under-served. This means more than half of the student population lives in poverty. The majority of these students come from Spanish-speaking homes. Many others are African- American. 151822 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 4 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 true false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true true true true true false false TX Kathleen Culebro 8179233012 1300 Gendy Street Ste 268 Fort Worth TX 76107 Kathleen Culebro 50.00 X X 25000 0 0 Kay Bolz 6.00 X 0 0 0 Jeff Davis 6.00 X 0 0 0 John Williams 6.00 X 0 0 0 David Fielding 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Gregory Ibanez 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Peter Kowalski 6.00 X 0 0 0 Whitney Smith 6.00 X 0 0 0 Dan Barrett 6.00 X 0 0 0 Malinda Cowan 6.00 X 0 0 0 Carolyn Dixon 6.00 X 0 0 0 Jarrell Milburn 6.00 X 0 0 0 Rebecca Allard 25.00 X 11000 0 0 36000 false false false 166247 166247 Production ticket sales 77932 77932 77932 75 75 29035 7175 21860 21860 266114 77932 21935 25000 25000 22574 11000 11574 5957 3763 2194 3050 3050 73875 73875 25134 19404 5730 3237 3237 6557 6557 11954 11954 Production expenses 56922 56922 Outreach expenses 11548 11548 245808 182108 57970 5730 47254 46569 47254 46569 27007 7790 27007 7790 X 20247 38779 20247 38779 47254 46569 20306 X false true true X false false X 115081 142771 194196 197850 166247 816145 20409 16992 17476 18284 77932 151093 135490 159763 211672 216134 244179 967238 967238 91 75 166 91 75 166 135490 159763 211672 216225 244254 967404 0.99980 1.00000 0.00020 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false false false false false false false 266114 245808 20306 20306 266114 266114 266114 245808 245808 245808 X false Next Leap 29035 29035 7175 29035 29035 7175 7175 21860 false false false false false false false false false 11a.
