Our story

A lifelong vision.
A home in Tuskegee.

Founded by Dyann Robinson in 1991, Tuskegee Repertory Theatre presents theatre that reflects the cultural legacy of Black peoples, especially the African American community of historic Tuskegee.

At the Jessie Clinton Arts Centre, that vision also creates opportunities for artistic training, performance, and cultural enrichment.
