Introducing: The Vivienne L. Jackson Sanctuary for the Arts

Selah Theatre Project is entering a new era—one shaped by legacy, community, and unapologetic creativity. Today, we are honored to share the name of our future home: The Vivienne L. Jackson Sanctuary for the Arts.

The Sanctuary is more than a building.
It is a promise.

A promise to create a place where every story has value, where young artists grow in confidence and craft, and where our community gathers to witness, imagine, and belong. Named in tribute to Vivienne L. Jackson, whose resilience, generosity, and belief in human potential helped pave the way through her business Ruth's Tea Room. This Sanctuary stands as a living testament to the power of art to nurture and to transform.

As we restore and re-imagine this former church, each beam, each corner, and each future performance carries forward Ms. Jackson’s spirit of welcome and community care. What will emerge is not just a theatre space, but a home for creativity, conversation, and connection for generations to come.

We invite you to join us on this extraordinary journey.
Together, we will build a Sanctuary where art speaks, heals, challenges, and inspires— Unapologetically.
