Upcoming Show Information
Raptured
By Matt Lyle and Matt Coleman • Directed by Jeffrey Schmidt
The End Times are upon us! It’s about time. The congregants of the Third Baptist Church of Uncertain, Texas are only certain about two things; the rapture is DEFINITELY happening sometime in the next two hours (the Bible Math checks out), and two hours is not enough time to squeeze every single drop of life from this wicked, wonderful world. But some of them will try. RAPTURED is a fresh farce—part Boeing, Boeing, part The Last Picture Show—full of love triangles, mistaken identities, a puckish youth pastor, a Preacher on a dubious mission, lots of doors, and, of course, deeply irrevocable existential longing. When the clock is ticking, sometimes who you are and what you really want is the greatest revelation of all.

The Armor Plays: Cinched & Strapped
By Selina Fillinger • Directed by Leslie Swackhamer
Two one acts by award winning female playwright round out the 2018-19 season. Paired together, the plays explore gender and rebellion by examining the past and exploring the future. The first, Cinched, is set during a 19th century high-class, noble dinner part. Fast forward several centuries to Strapped – the second piece which introduces hardened warriors in a dystopian future. Together, Fillinger’s The Armor Plays examine the ever-evolving roles of men and women and question which will lead the way in the future.

By Michael Federico

NOISES OFF
By Michael Frayn
Directed by Kara-Lynn Vaeni
They say all the world is a stage, but perhaps the drama behind-the-scenes is where the real story is at. NOISES OFF provides a sneak peek onstage and backstage of an amateur traveling theatre production from final rehearsals through opening night and the subsequent touring season. But can this troupe keep their offstage antics behind the curtain, or will the drama waiting in the wings find its way center stage? Sardines, sight lines, and slammed doors are the glue that holds this gut-busting farce together. A farce where everyone gets caught in the act!

FUNNY, YOU DON’T ACT LIKE A NEGRO
By Denise Lee
Directed by Christie Vela
You know what they say happens when you assume…but then again, there’s also that saying about people who live in glass houses. Denise Lee’s FUNNY, YOU DON’T ACT LIKE A NEGRO explores the prejudgments we make on our neighbors, the biases we inadvertently pass on to our children and how the simple act of talking to one another is being subverted by social media. This comedic drama invites you to share your experience and opinions throughout the course of the play. A world premiere play!

THE ELEPHANT MAN
By Benard Pomerance
Directed by Jeffrey Schmidt
What’s behind the façade of a living, breathing, sideshow ‘freak’? Meet John Merrick, an intelligent and friendly man shunned by Victorian-era society due to his dramatically deformed body. But a chance meeting with a caring surgeon provides him hope and an opportunity for a better quality of life. THE ELEPHANT MAN is inspired by the true story of Joseph Merrick, whose medical diagnosis remains inconclusive today. A biographical drama.

THE IMMIGRANT
By Mark Harelik
Directed by Jeffrey Schmidt
Grab your tickets for Hamilton…Texas, where Russian-Jewish immigrant Haskell Harelik settles into America at the turn of the century. Unable to speak English, the outsider pulls his banana cart through the staunch Christian community begging for shelter. Over the course of 30 years, this tiny town becomes the home for his young family as religion meets religion, culture meets culture, fear meets fear, and love meets love. A timely play based on the true story of Haskell Harelik, the author’s grandfather of the same name.

New Works Initiative
Why new plays and not just classics? Classics can give us perspective. We can evaluate the present from a distance. New plays give us context. Who better to speak for us than our peers? Together, new plays and classics fulfill T3’s mission to illuminate the human experience. Who knows? Years from now, maybe a play developed right here at T3, perhaps by a Dallas playwright, will offer perspective to a future audience.
