About Us

We are experimenters and innovators

Founded in 1985 in San Antonio, Texas. Jump-Start Performance Co. operates as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization producing original works for the stage.

We are experimenters, and innovators. We are working-class artists. We are writers, actors, designers, dancers, new media artists. We are survivors.

Currently, we have one part-time staff person and four contractual support staff. Our artistic vision is led by a volunteer curatorial committee made up of four artistic company members. Jump-Start is supported by a working board of directors and teaching artists working to keep the San Antonio community engaged in Jump-Start’s Mission.

“Spectacular.
Cultural.
Collaborative.”
