The History of Jubilee Theatre
Jubilee Theatre was incorporated in 1982 and received 501(c)(3) status in May 1983. After one season at 1801 East Vickery, the Board of Directors under the leadership of Darwin and Muriel Mendoza decided to become what the local press affectionately called a “gypsy theatre"… performing in local theaters or nightclubs, filling in on off days, and occasionally getting a chance at weekend runs.
