Dallas Children’s Theater will appoint David Leggett as Interim Director of Development effective December 1, 2025. Leggett joins the organization after serving in development leadership roles at the Nasher Sculpture Center, TACA, Dallas Theater Center, and the Meadows Museum.
Crafting a musical theater hit is a lot like alchemy - the ancient study focused primarily on creating gold from baser elements - and oftentimes no matter the ingredients, directors never quite achieve the outcome for which they strive. But in the case of director/choreographer Everett Tarlton's production of Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate (now onstage at Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre through March 7), he has crafted something so special that it essentially defines the theatrical gold standard.
