Jackson Theatre Guild

For nearly 50 years, the Jackson Theatre Guild has been West Tennessee's source for quality performing arts. Our shows are affordable, professional, and - most importantly - fun!

Chartered in 1964 as a 501(c)3 organization, the JTG was founded by a handful of theatre teachers, professors, and other performance enthusiasts who answered an overwhelming public call for a local theatre group. Even though Jackson has always had a rich arts offering thanks in part to its local universities, the general public desired something more uplifting and entertaining than the sometimes more experimental productions of the college sector. Needless to say, the JTG answered the call and has been going strong ever since!

Today, the Guild's volunteers quite literally represent every aspect of our talented community: students, business owners, factory workers; over 50, under 30, and everything in between; black, white, Hispanic. These are your everyday friends and neighbors, yet they give the same high-caliber performance that you would expect to see in a professional theatre company.

But we are more than just a group of artists. We are a close-knit family, and we would love for you to be a part of it by coming to an audition, working backstage, joining our audience, or by becoming a member!

A special camaraderie exists between our actors, the crew, and most importantly, the audience. We are excellence-driven, and we go to great lengths to make sure that the entire playgoing experience is something you'll never forget. You are the reason we're here!
