a new musical by Peter Glazer
In the last Great Depression, songwriter
Woody Guthrie travelled from the Dustbowl to California
to New York writing what he learned about our country. This
exhilarating musical captures his enduring and deeply felt
emotions about America. As The New York Times’ glowing review
proclaimed, “[It] finds both the high beauty and earthy
humor of Guthrie’s love affair with America.” The Dallas
premiere of this exceptional musical opens the Theatre Three/Theatre
Too season.

a comedy
by Richard Alfieri
A widow decides to reawaken her
ballroom dancing skills and finds a young man to tutor
her in her Florida condominium. The two clash both comically
and dramatically in a series of scenes that escalate the
importance of dance as a way to bring order into their
disordered lives. The original cast included acting great
Uta Hagen (shortly before her death) and TV’s and Broadway’s
David Hyde Pierce.

a comedy mystery ghost-story by Alan Ayckbourn
Where there's a will, there's a war,
so they say. When a father dies (perhaps helped on his way
by his daughter quadrupling his pills and giving him "only
a little push" down the stairs) one wonders: could
her actions have been prompted by his changing his will?
And who will inherit the estate? That older, colder ex-pat
sister, Annabel, who never lifted a finger to help? Leave
it to the brilliant Ayckbourn to surprise us and make us
laugh at the extreme tensions of contentious family life
– and death!

a musical
tale by Sean Grennan and Leah Okimoto
According to one reviewer from the musical’s premiere, “Another
Night Before Christmas should be required viewing for
people who have reached the stage of no longer believing
in miracles or Santa! It’s insightful while delightfully
entertaining and gives us cause to examine our own conscience
when it comes to allowing ourselves the indulgence in merriment
that Christmas brings.” Theatre Three audiences first enjoyed
the work of this new playwright-composer team when A
Dog’s Life proved a surprise hit of the 2007-2008 season.

a tribute
to a legendary performer by Don Alan Croll
A fan’s ultimate tribute to the object of his admiration,
this one-man show contains the amazing songs (many by Kaye’s
brilliant wife, Sylvia Fine) that fueled the legendary career
of the versatile, charismatic, Brooklyn-born star of stage
and screen. Kaye’s respect for musicians led him to perform
countless charity performances benefitting musical causes
as well as famously raising money for world children through
UNICEF. But it is the high velocity entertaining character
of Kaye’s performances that are perfectly captured in this
loving tribute by Dallas’ admired cantor, Don Alan Croll.

the annual return of the perfect revue by Joe DiPietro
and Jimmy Roberts
Every year we wonder if there are still Dallas citizens
or visitors who have not yet seen this signature production.
It’s amazing! Every year the performances sell out, delighting
audiences, performers and staff. Through hilarious songs
and sketches, the authors have crafted an enduringly entertaining
look at all stages of courtship and marriage, that ultimate
“pursuit of happiness”. As is the tradition, the revue will
return over the Valentine season.

W. and Dr. Bob is getting standing ovations!"

in their family or on a personal level. No, let’s change
that: a must-see for us all.
