Fabian Barracks is the CEO of Barracks Entertainment, a theatre company established eleven years ago that empowers youth through the arts. He has done 10 commercial productions, some of the most recent being: Wah Sweet Nanny Goat, Black Sheep, and Ananda Alert. Fabian is extremely passionate about youth development and focuses on producing plays that explore some critical themes affecting young people. Barracks has established The Barracks Theatre, in 2019 which served as a youth hub for theatre arts. His recent achievements include: winning Actor Boy Award 2018 for Best Comedy for Black Sheep and Youth View Awards for Favourite Local Theatre Play in 2017 for Wah Sweet Nanny Goat. Alum of the University of the West Indies – ECEM Programme, Barracks continues to stay true to his vision of bringing out the best in youth through the arts and nurturing young talents through quality theatre.

In 2021, due to COVID-19 and the closure of theatre as a result of government guidelines, Barracks has pivoted and has put a more deliberate effort in engaging youth online through YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. We have seen astronomical growth in online audiences through the new series Balla that deals with a myriad of issues that are of interest to young people. Barracks continues to empower youth even though theatre has temporarily halted and has also decided to leave his mark in the academic space by publishing his plays into a book. that will be adapted by the MOEY school curriculum.
