About the Wichita Theatre Produc

Dwayne and Lisa Jackson (dwayne@wichitatheatre.com) have been operating the theatre on behalf of their family for over 11 years. Having been all around the productions from the technical aspects to producing shows, Dwayne decided to take on the challenge of directing "Disney's Beauty and the Beast". With Lisa right by his side, along with her tremendous energy and vision, this duo set out to bring to one of the largest budgeted shows ever to the stage in Wichita Falls. They knew that to pull off a show of this magnitude it was important to surround themselves with the best consultants this town had to offer. Thus, the Wichita Theatre Production Team was born. All of the Jackson's children...Chris, Aaron and Amanda are involved in the theatre. Dwayne and Lisa directed the 2008 Christmas show "Two From Galilee", 2008's "Peter Pan" and 2009's "Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Jr".
