Making music is easier at parties,
new theater. We've got at least twice as
much space here, but it's
also nice because the space here was sort
of intentionally designed for us to be up
here in the old space we were.
Always improvising, the new building has
the same stage space, but twice as many
seats for actors, there's room
to dress.
There was a time that
they didn't have dressing rooms per say.
We had to dress downstairs and the
security guards restroom.
You can't fully appreciate the new
building until you see the
old one, 30 by 60 room
where we've done over 75 productions.
Edouard spearheaded the fundraiser that
brought in 600000 dollars for the new
theater.
It took three years of intensive
work on the part of our board of
directors and of some fundraisers
who helped us along the way.
Theater critic Jeremy Gerard says the
new building symbolizes a growing
interest in Dallas theater.
We are moving towards a more
professionally oriented arts community.
They play to a full house on opening
night, and the music never
sounded so.
