Paul Baker

Paul Baker, founded the Dallas Theater Center in 1959 and was the first principal of Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, died  due to complications from pneumonia when he was 98.Dr. Paul Baker was a great artist, a visionary leader and a master educator. As the founding artistic director of Dallas Theater Center he created a vital company of actors, directed boldly original interpretations of classic plays, and developed new plays that have had a lasting impact on the American theater. Equally important, his deep commitment to education has inspired generations of students. His quarter-century of leadership at DTC will never be surpassed in its duration, vision and passion.
