The Dallas Theater Center, one of the nation’s leading producers of classic and global theater experiences, has announced its annual gala and fundraiser.
The gala, whose theme is Centerstage 40: A Brand New Day, is scheduled for May 4, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Fashion Industry Gallery.
The gala will feature a special performance from the award-winning Broadway star André De Shields, who has appeared in DTC’s musical Fortress of Solitude and as Prospero in The Tempest.
The event provides an opportunity to help raise funds in support of productions and programs for the award-winning theater company.
It is also the 40th year of the gala as well as the 65th anniversary of the Dallas Theater Organization.
“As the DTC steps into 65 years of producing incredible work on stage, we also celebrate 40 years of exceptional gala evenings featuring local and national talent and honoring the community that makes it all possible,” said Hamilton A Sneed, Centerstage 40 Event Chair.
Additionally, the event serves not only as a fundraising event but also honors individuals for their commitment to service, leadership, and community impact with the Linda and Bill Custard Award.
This year’s recipient, Donna Wilhelm, a life trustee of DTC, has shown a profound commitment to American Theater and to the Dallas Theater Center.
“Donna Wilhelm and her family have provided essential support for Dallas Theater Center, including a significant commitment to DTC’s education and community engagement programming, funding, and strategic planning,” said Kevin Moriarty, Executive Director of Dallas Theater Center.
