  • Dallas Theater Center Announces Changes to Season Schedule
    Contact: Paula Paggi, PR/Media Relations Manager (972) 342-4991 ❘ [email protected] Dallas Theater Center Announces Changes to Season Schedule DALLAS (May 4, 2021) - Dallas Theater Center, the 2017 recipient of the Regional Theatre Tony Award®, unveils changes to the rest of their season. Working: A Musical and Public Works Dallas’ A Little Less Lonely will finish out the 2020-2021 schedule. Unfortunately challenges in finding an outdoor venue have led to the cancellation of War of the Worlds. The next show will be Working: A Musical presented at Strauss Square in the AT&T Performing Arts Center July 7-18. Based on Studs Terkel’s bestselling book, this unique musical features the real-life words of average working Americans. Through original songs by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked), Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, In the Heights), James Taylor and others, Working lifts up the voices of teachers, waiters, truck drivers and the essential workers who often go unnoticed but whose work uplifts our lives day in and day out. “Working is a glorious exploration of why humans strive to do a good day’s work each and every day - even during a pandemic. Simply put, we strive to build upon our parent’s dreams, to build our own dreams, and to build a future for our children’s dreams. Under the beautiful and heartfelt direction of Diane and Hal Brierley Resident Acting Company member, Tiana Kaye Blair, making her Dallas Theater Center directing debut, Working helps us understand the “American” dream takes many shapes and forms. We could not be happier to bring Dallas audiences safely together, outdoors and socially distanced, to share in this musical theater celebration of essential workers, generational dreams and our common humanity,” said Sarahbeth Grossman, Artistic Producer, Dallas Theater Center.
