Printed in the U.S.A. DEAR PATRONS © Carter Rose Welcome to the Winspear Opera House on the AT&T Performing Arts Center campus, where we’re celebrating ten years of “Staging the Amazing.” Once is the first Broadway show of our 2019/2020 season. This show won eight Tony Awards and features actors who play live instruments on stage. It’s an original Broadway experience that you won’t forget—and the same can be said about all of the shows in our season. Next up is Once On This Island, followed by The Color Purple, then Blue Man Group, The Band’s Visit, An American in Paris, Bandstand, and The SpongeBob Musical! All of this will happen right here in the beautiful Winspear Opera House. And the AT&T Performing Arts Center is more than Broadway. We present speakers like Spike Lee who will be here next month; the finest dance companies in the world, like MOMIX, with our partner TITAS/Dance Unbound; and family shows like PJ Masks Live! in January. We provide stages for our five esteemed resident companies: Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, The Dallas Opera, Dallas Theater Center and Texas Ballet Theater. And through our Elevator Project we present the best of new and emerging Dallas arts groups. If you’ve joined us since we opened in 2009, you probably know that the AT&T Performing Arts Center is more than great shows. For many students in this community, our education programs can be the beginning of a lifetime love of culture, or even a career in the arts. Our many community engagement initiatives are introducing more people to the arts. By being a member, donor, or a patron at the Center, you’re helping us share experiences like these. Thank you for being part of the team. But right now enjoy Once and we’ll see you again soon!

    The Old Vic announces The Old Vic 12 Class of 2016-2017 London, 5th December: Today The Old Vic announces the theatre makers behind this year’s Old Vic 12: a company of talented, developing artists looking to make the next step in their careers. The scheme offers them the opportunity to expand their networks, experience first class mentoring and receive funding to create three brand new plays as a collective. The newly announced Old Vic 12 consists of: ➔ Directors, Chelsea Walker, Lekan Lawal and Jesse Jones ➔ Producers, Molly Roberts, Tobi Kyeremateng and Aaron Rogers ➔ Playwrights, Joe White, Rebecca Crookshank and John O’Donovan ➔ Designer, Fin Redshaw ➔ Movement Director, Rachael Nanyonjo ➔ Composer, Cassie Kinoshi This Autumn, after receiving 1,300 applications and interviewing over 300 candidates, The Old Vic is thrilled to start work with these artists to nurture and unveil the work they produce. Artistic Director, Matthew Warchus said, ‘Supporting the next generation of theatre-makers is one of the most important and effective contributions to our cultural future we can make. It is also one of the most enjoyable. The Old Vic 12 sees emerging creatives engaging with people at the top of their profession across a wide range of theatrical disciplines and it's hugely inspiring to see how much all parties get from the mutual exchange of ideas. The presence of these early-career creative minds in our midst through the year is extremely energising.
