2014 REPORT to the COMMUNITY DEAR FRIENDS, on the Campus of the AT&T Performing Arts Center, It’S Obvious When People Have Been Enriched by the Arts Enriching your life. Enriching the community. 2014 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY DEAR FRIENDS, On the campus of the AT&T Performing Arts Center, it’s obvious when people have been enriched by the arts. You can see it on their faces. The beauty of the performing arts is that they belong to everyone. Each of us has the power to raise our voice in song, bend our body in rhythm or shift our face to convey any emotion under the sun. In the dimmed lights of the Winspear Opera House and Wyly Theatre or in the outdoor brilliance of Strauss Square and Sammons Park, you can see people sharing the human experience of laughter, sorrow, discovery or surprise. Now in our fifth year, we reflect on the people who were enriched by the arts, while we turn our eyes to the future. In the coming years, we hope that more people can share in performances and programs that educate, entertain and inspire. To that end, the Center has just completed a strategic plan that helps us achieve our mission: to provide a public gathering place that strengthens community and fosters creativity through the presentation of performing arts. The plan outlines programming strategies that are central to the Center’s success; but also defines financial, operational, staff and community goals that are equally foundational to our sustainability. Throughout the pages of this annual report, you will find images that reflect what the Center has become: a vibrant crossroads for diverse artists and audiences experiencing unique, surprising and excellent performances. You will see quotes and numbers that affirm this success, but also something more. You will see faces that reflect the power of the performing arts to enrich the lives of North Texans.

OPEN STAGES – Thousands of students explore and more deeply experience the arts thanks to Open Stages, the Center’s arts education program. Open Stages’ unique program, Backstage Spotlight, provides career training in the areas of lighting, sound and set design, preparing these Dallas ISD students for careers in the technical arts. Broadway Experience brings students to the Center to see our touring Broadway or TITAS Presents programs, preceded by a learning experience led by professional artistic facilitators. Open Stages has provided tickets and transportation for more than 3,100 participants and garnered support from the Neiman Marcus Performing Arts Education Endowment, The Moody Foundation, Bank of America, Ralph B. Rogers Foundation and individual donors. COMMUNITY PARTNERS – More than 2,600 people enjoyed free performances at the Center through innovative partnerships with nine local nonprofit service agencies: The Family Place, Jonathan’s Place, Jubilee Park and Community Center, Lumin Education, Nexus Recovery Center, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Uplift Education, Vickery Meadow Youth Development Foundation and The Wilkinson Center. Thanks to an endowment established by the Donna Wilhelm Friendship Fund and support from Communities Foundation of Texas, North Texas Giving Day and individual donors, the program continues to thrive. It makes me feel that things are actually possible, that you can actually make a career out of this. — ADRIANA L., STUDENT AT THOMAS JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL 2014 Report to the Community 5 Thank you so much! ... If you hadn’t given us tickets, we would have missed the best time of our life. — LUVIA O., STUDENT AT UPLIFT EDUCATION Broadway Experience students participate in pre-show workshops with Teaching Artists to explore the work and themes of comedic improv troupe Second City and the Broadway musical Once, before attending the shows.

A HIGH NOTE FOR PHANTOM In its three-week engagement in August 2014, The Phantom of the Opera became the second-highest- grossing production in the Center’s history, selling 43,717 tickets.

BROADWAY – The Center’s Broadway Series is an unqualified success, setting records and driving subscriptions and memberships. It is a key part of the region’s cultural vitality. In 2014, the Center brought to the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House impressive touring productions including The Phantom of the Opera, Once, Godspell and return hit engagements of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast and Blue Man Group. OFF BROADWAY ON FLORA – Some of American theatre’s most successful shows got their starts off-Broadway. And that is where the Center is uncovering new classics for our new series, Off Broadway On Flora. The inaugural season began with Buyer & Cellar starring Ugly Betty actor and Plano native Michael Urie, followed by the legendary comedy of The Second City’s 55th Anniversary Tour. Whoever booked this series deserves a round of applause and maybe even a standing ovation. — LAUREN SMART (DALLAS OBSERVER) ABOUT THE OFF BROADWAY ON FLORA SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT Left: Cooper Groden and Julia Udine in The Phantom of the Opera.

It gave our show the sense of occasion and vote of confidence to reach new heights. — DANIELLE GEORGIOU, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR AND FOUNDER OF DGDG SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2010, PATIO SESSIONS HAS SPOTLIGHTED MORE THAN 30 LOCAL MUSIC ACTS AND ENTERTAINED MORE THAN Picnicking on the lawn. Photo by Nate Rehlander. 2,400 PATRONS. ELEVATOR PROJECT – The Elevator Project is a one-year collaborative experiment to provide six small, high-quality arts groups with access to the black box Studio Theatre in the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre. The Center welcomed the African American Repertory Theater, Cara Mía Theatre Co., Dallas Actor’s Lab, DGDG: The Danielle Georgiou Dance Group, Second Thought Theatre and Upstart Productions, with each staging a performance throughout the year. The project reinforces the need for more black box creative space in the Dallas Arts District. PATIO SESSIONS – Patio Sessions, the Center’s award-winning live music series, features Thursday evening concerts in Elaine D. and Charles A. Sammons Park during the spring and fall. Patio Sessions is made possible with support from Sammons Enterprises and a grant from TACA (The Arts Community Alliance). The diverse lineup of local and emerging artists adds to the growing vibrancy in the Arts District and enriches Dallas’ live music scene. Watch out, Austin! 10 YOUR ART OUR RESIDENT COMPANIES – Whether theatre, opera or dance, the Center is where exciting and provocative art is being created. Our resident companies are the ones doing it: Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, The Dallas Opera, Dallas Theater Center and Texas Ballet Theater. They make headlines with their world premieres. They put Dallas on the cultural map. And that’s exactly how it is supposed to work. The nonprofit Center manages, maintains and programs the Center with Broadway, concerts and events. Then our resident companies can use the Center’s stellar venues at the lowest possible cost, leaving them to focus resources on producing great performances. For 38 seasons, Dallas Black Dance Theatre has bridged cultures and inspired conversation at home and abroad through the limitless power of dance.

  • Homeless Solutions Strategy Briefing Follow Up
    Memorandum DATE August 10, 2018 CITY OF DALLAS TO Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council SUBJECT Homeless Solutions Strategy Briefing Follow-Up The purpose of this memo is to provide responses to questions asked by City Council during the August 1, 2018 City Council briefing on the Proposed Homeless Solutions Strategy. 1. List of city buildings currently not occupied: The Office of Homeless Solutions received the attached city-owned property list from Equipment and Building Services (EBS) and reached out to Real Estate for assistance in determining occupancy. Real Estate will not typically know the status or availability of a facility unless and until the owning department releases it to them for disposal. There are three known vacant properties: 1). 6742 Greenville Ave (Old Fire Station 37) 2). 4114 Frank St (Old Fire Station 44) and 3). Hensley Field. All three of these properties are currently being evaluated for use by other City departments. 2. Number of homeless individuals that would go into a shelter if a bed was available: The Office of Homeless Solutions does not currently track this metric. With the implementation of Track 1: Increasing shelter capacity through contracted pay-to-stay, Street Outreach staff will track and document acceptance or rejection of shelter of all homeless individuals they engage. OHS staff estimate that approximately 50% of homeless individuals would accept shelter if available. This equates to approximately 550 individuals based on the 2018 Point In Time count. 3. List of Dallas County properties that could be potential facilities to house the homeless: Dallas County does not currently have any vacant facilities.
