Join us for a conversation with Jarvis Antonio Green, Founding Artistic Director of JAG Productions and BarnArts Center for the Arts.This community event will be a meaningful look behind the scenes at the founding of JAG Productions, a chance to hear Jarvis story and path to its founding, and a glimpse at what the theatre company is working on for the second season!

JAG has just completed an inaugural season, featuring mainstage productions of Choir Boy, and Fences and a number of community events, including JAGFest. In this open conversation, Jarvis is baring his soul and all that it has taken to produce exceptional art and build a sustainable organization. In an event that will be valuable to theatre artists, theatre goers and community members alike, this will be a chance to engage in a conversation about building community through theatre.

About JAG Productions:
JAG Productions is led by Producing Artistic Director, Jarvis Antonio Green. Founded in 2016, JAG Productions' mission is to produce classic and contemporary theatre and serve as an incubator of new work that catalyzes a shift to more compassion, empathy and love while exciting broad intellectual engagement through the lens of the African-American experience. Having successfully brought Broadway and TV actors and world-class designers to Upper Valley stages, JAG Productions has bright future ahead.
The theatre company is celebrating its inaugural season, which has been met with rave reviews for it's three Vermont Premiers! The first production was Tarell Alvin McCraneys Choir Boy, a music-filled coming of age story set in an elite prep school for young black men. The show was staged at Briggs Opera House in White River Junction, VT. The second production was Polkadots: The Cool Kids Musical, a musical inspired by Civil Rights pioneers Ruby Bridges and The Little Rock Nine. The Inaugural season concluded with August Wilsons Fences, the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Drama exploring the evolving African-American experience on the brink of the Civil Rights Movement. Both shows from the second half of the season were produced at Woodstock Town Hall Theatre.

Beyond the Mainstage productions, JAG was able to offer a number of community outreach programs. One such program was a student matinee program, which provides local middle and high school students with the opportunity to see JAG's productions for free. Over 600 students from all over the region attended our performances. The company also launched JAGFest, an annual festival of new works celebrating the talents of African-American playwrights. The festival was presented in multiple venues around Woodstock and Pomfret, VT. Finally, JAG has hosted talkbacks after performances with guest speakers from Cornell University and Dartmouth College.

JAG Productions sees itself as playing a role in bringing diverse actors and stories to the stage and to the Upper Valley. The staging of Fences was the initial production of a 10-year commitment to staging The American Century Cycle, August Wilsons series of ten plays charting the African American experience through the twentieth century.
