Dallas Theater Center to Host Fall Celebration for Broadway-Bound 'MOONSHINE'

Dallas Theater Center announced today details for its upcoming MOONSHINE Celebration, which will take place on Saturday, September 12, 2015. Co-Chairs Brice Beaird, Elle Oberdick and Dan Waldmann, along with Honorary Chairs Lyn Muse and Kim Sheffield, will welcome guests to be among the first to experience DTC's newest Broadway-bound production Moonshine: That Hee Haw Musical at the Dee and Charles Wyly Theater.

"We are excited to co-chair this great event for the Dallas Theater Center. Brilliant, Grammy Award-Winning Nashville songwriters Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally have penned the music for this hilarious musical 'about a love story so deep, it's fried!'" said the co-chairs.

Guests will enjoy a special preview performance of Moonshine: That Hee Haw Musical, with music and lyrics by Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally and book by Robert Horn. Following the performance will be a fabulous dinner-and-dance party at Gilley's Dallas.

"We are throwing a good ol' fashioned hoedown with tons of great food, live music straight from Nashville and other surprises," said Waldmann.

The MOONSHINE Celebration will begin with a cocktail reception at 5:00pm, followed by a 6:00pm performance. The post-show dinner-and-dance party at Gilley's will begin at 8:30pm. Tickets to the performance and party begin at $500 and show-only tickets are $75. Customized sponsorship opportunities are available.
