The Jubilee Theatre, founded in 1981, bills itself as the "original home of African-American theater in North Texas." (Robert Hart/Special Contributor)

Declois Garrett Beacham also goes by the name Tre Garrett. (Tarrant County Sheriff's Department)

Editor’s note: This story has been updated.

Police have arrested the artistic director of Fort Worth’s Jubilee Threatre after he was accused of offering to pay two boys for sex.

Declois “Tre” Garrett Beacham, 33, faces two counts of compelling prostitution of a child. He was booked into the Tarrant County Jail on Friday morning and later posted bond.

The boys who accused Beacham of soliciting them for sex are 11 and 17. The younger boy initially accused him of attempted kidnapping and sexual assault but later denied the assault happened.

The board of the Jubilee, a black theater company founded in 1981, declined to comment on the allegations against Beacham, who uses the name Tre Garrett in theater circles.

“He is a very talented individual and has done excellent work at Jubilee and other theaters in the Dallas-Fort Worth area,” the theater said in a written statement. “We will have to wait to see how the situation unfolds.”
