As we prepare for another exciting Irma P. Hall Black Theatre Awards, I want to present some unique ways to engage and support the local community. Each Year, we honor those individuals who achieve excellence in theater, dance and all areas of the performing and technical arts in the DFW area. With continued support from the Dallas/ Fort Worth metroplex and numerous sponsors, we are able to continue honoring those in the local community.

ABOUT THE IRMA P. HALL BLACK THEATRE AWARDS

We want to show the world why #BlackArtsMatter The Irma P. Hall Black Theater Awards was founded in 2015 by DFW Black Arts. Named in honor of the legendary actress Irma P. Hall, IPHBTA was created to honor the artistic excellence in performing and technical theater for companies in the Dallas Ft Worth metroplex. Irma P. Hall, a Texas native, is a stage and film actress. Best known for her standout role as the matriarch "Big Mama" in the film Soul Food, Hall has nearly 100 film and television credits to her name. Hall taught in the Dallas school system for twenty years until she was discovered by actor and director Raymond St. Jacques.

Hall has been nominated and has received several awards for her acting including a NAACP Image Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Soul Food, the prestigious Prixe du Jury from Cannes Film Festival for her performance in the The Ladykillers and an induction into the Texas Film Hall.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

The Annual Irma P. Hall Black Theater Awards is our marquee Award Ceremony, which attracted over 250 people last year. This year is going to be bigger and better because of our hosts, Angela Robinson (Tyler Perry’s Have and Have Nots, Broadway’s The Color Purple) and Jason Dirden (Oprah Winfrey’s Greenleaf and Broadway’s Raisin in the Sun and Fences).

That coupled with our new "re-brand" partnership with The Striped Heart will help us take this event to the next level. We have come a long way, but we still need your support. Your generous contribution will help us reach and exceed passed our mission.
