Addison's WaterTower Theater

By
Industry Observer

One of the great advantages to living in Addison, Texas is the proximity to its growing arts and entertainment district, the anchor of which is The WaterTower Theater.

The WaterTower Theatre dates back to 1996. Today, in its 12th Season, the WaterTower has over 2000 subscribers and a budget of $1.1 million.  Perhaps more importantly, it consistently earns rave reviews in local publications and the WaterTower productions regularly are regional theater award winners.

This season's productions began last month with Grey Gardens: The Musical.  The remaining shows for the season include:

Forever Plaid: Plaid Tidings  -  December 3 - December 23, 2009

Laughter on the 23rd Floor by Neil Simon  -  January 14 - February 7, 2010

Is He Dead?  (A new comedy by Mark Twain) -  April 1 - 25, 2010

Black Pearl Sings  -  May 20 - June 13, 2010

The Full Monty  -  July 8 - August 1, 2010

Also... On December 13 and 20, Broadway Legend Betty Buckley accompanied by Kenny Werner will perform 3 shows titled "Home for the Holidays".

The WaterTower Theater is located at 16560 Addison Road, Addision, TX 75001.  Tickets may be purchased online at www.watertowertheater.org.

Steve:  What a great prize the Water Tower Theatre is, and has been for all of DFW.  I notice Betty Buckley will be on the stage in December... and I'd really like to see her perform.  I remember seeing her years ago... and I'm sure she is even better than ever... if that's even possible.  Thanks for reminding us what a treasure we have in Addison.

Maybe you and I, and Lorrie Semler ought to take in one of their performances.  Or even... get together some of the other Active Rainers... so we could all go together.  What was the name of that 'Rainer you mentioned up in Aubrey ?

Great idea, Karen Anne!  I am a season ticket holder, but additional tickets are sometimes available.

Steve One reason an area becomes popular has to do with the availability of entertainment.  Sounds like Addison has that.
