Core Theatre

Artistic Director/Founder, James Hansen Prince, had his first taste of acting as a child at Chris Wilson's Actor's Theatre in Houston, Texas. He later earned his B.A. in Theater from the University of Texas at Dallas. In the 1980's he steadily worked in theatres throughout the DFW and Houston areas. His passion for acting continued to thrive as he progressed into television and film. From 1993 – 1994 he had his own traveling theatre company, “Theatre on the Square,” in Houston, Texas. In 2008 James and his family moved back to the Dallas area. After a long hiatus from acting and many life experiences under his belt, he was not only ready to return to acting, but to tell the stories that were welling up within him. In July of 2008 he held a public reading of his first play, “A Reason to Believe.” In 2009 he filed for 501C-3 status and The Core Theatre was born.
