Dear Friends,
It’s that time of year again…a time for gratitude and a time to count your blessings.
I am grateful for the amazing team at Broadway Dallas, who help to take care of our wonderful Music Hall, who put up and run all of the amazing shows that come to our theater, who organize and implement our incredible education and community engagement programs, who raise the money to fund those programs, and who spread the word about our shows. And here’s a special shout out to our front of house, security and box office teams who keep our patrons informed, safe and comfortable.
And of course, I’m very grateful to you: our fans, season subscribers, members and donors – for spending your time with us, for supporting us through the years, and for sharing our love of the magic of Broadway.
Happy Holidays! And see you in the lobby!
Ken Novice
Broadway Dallas President and CEO
We are thrilled to announce our newest affinity group Night Out in partnership with Turtle Creek Chorale, an exciting opportunity for members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community to gather, socialize, and experience the best of Broadway together.

Broadway Dallas and Dallas ISD announced a district-wide Steam education program themed around the Broadway musical Beetlejuice. The T.D.

Over the course of multiple weeks, 3,400 theatre students and teachers from 26 Dallas ISD High Schools will participate in specially created curriculum that relates to the production, taught in classrooms by Broadway Dallas teaching artists. As part of the lesson plan all the participating students and teachers will attend a dedicated performance of Beetlejuice at the Music Hall at Fair Park.
The Broadway Dallas Education and Community Partnerships department had the honor of presenting at The Broadway League’s 2023 Education and Engagement Forum in New York City, sharing all about our Dallas ISD Day Education program. We enjoyed discussing our learnings and successes with colleagues and organizations from across the country!
