“If you ask anyone in Fort Worth’s theater community to describe Joe Brown, they’ll give you a number of titles: mentor, teacher, friend and arts advocate.
But most importantly, they’ll tell you he’s “Papa Joe.”
For nearly 50 years, Brown has taught theater at Texas Wesleyan University as well as led and advocated for several area companies, including Jubilee Theatre and Circle Theatre.
Brown’s decades of leadership were recognized with the “Lifetime Achievement Award” during Arts Fort Worth’s Heart of Gold Awards at the east Fort Worth university on Feb. 27….Arts Fort Worth officials also honored several other Tarrant-area leaders for their contributions, including Shasta Haubrich, Brandi Waller-Pace, Danielle Teagarden, Donya Craddock, Sydney Peel and The Society Inc. Tarrant Pearls Chapter. “
