Theatre Three has announced its upcoming season, and it's packed with jaw-dropping productions and epic events that you won't want to miss. You're invited to "Play with Us" as T3 dives headfirst into a whirlwind of drama, music, and mystery that will leave you on the edge of your seat!
The 62nd season promises an exhilarating lineup of 4 musicals and 4 plays across two distinct stages. The mainstage series in the Norma Young Arena Stage will treat audiences to the haunting and powerful "Carrie: The Musical", the epic and immersive "Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812", the deeply moving "Intimate Apparel", and concludes with the vibrant and fantastical "Xanadu". Meanwhile the additional performances kicking things off in Theatre Too include the provocative "Venus in Fur", followed by the classic thriller "Sleuth", the very campy and entertaining "Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical", and the hilarious and fast-paced "The Mystery of Irma Vep". This eclectic mix of shows promises to captivate and entertain, offering something for everyone.
Associate Artistic Director Christie Vela shares, "We're thrilled to return next season with a mix of delightful shows upstairs and down, led by some of DFW's finest talents bringing something fresh and exciting to each one. We're also eager to return with all of the ancillary programming you've come to expect from T3 like T3 Talks, T3 Writes, Uptown Drama, classes and co-pros enriching each experience at the theater and inviting both patrons and artists to be a part of the T3 family."
Artistic Director Jeffrey Schmidt adds, "Last year, T3 employed over 140 artists, and that is perhaps the greatest joy of announcing a new season. With each play and musical, a new cohort of actors, designers and technicians make T3 their creative home. The goal for this season was to curate a blend of fun musicals and juicy acting pieces with an eclectic flair that T3 is known for. And! When the season begins, our home in the Quad will be surrounded by its own eclectic blend of new restaurants. So park for free. Grab some dinner. And enjoy the show!"
In addition to the mainstage productions, Theatre Three continues to offer additional programs throughout the season. Monday Night Playwright will continue to offer unique and affordable opportunities for local writers to showcase their works. Additionally, Fight Night provides the community and artists alike with movement and other physical skills through monthly stage combat classes. T3 is also thrilled to announce the Norma Young Advanced Acting Lab, in collaboration with Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, will be entering its 5th year.
