Mission: WaterTower Theatre’s mission for the 21st Century is to open minds with a diverse mix of plays and educational programs that inspire people to experience and embrace live theatre.
Programs: Each season, watertower theatre produces a professional live theatre season, each offering a diverse array of plays and musicals. The productions consist of a unique but familiar blend of classic and contemporary. The theatre also hosts the annual "out of the loop fringe festival" which presents opportunities to existing and emerging artists and smaller theatre companies.
the theatre provides several educational opportunities to the community. A summer conservatory immerses children in all aspects of theatre arts for two weeks, and an after-school program offers a unique way for students to be introduced to theatre. In addition, an acting class is offered each season to area actors. Other educational opportunities consist of summer internships, which expose young professionals to the day-to-day operations of a small professional theatre.
What a great theatre and a community. While it has been parts of the Dallas arts community for year, only in the last several years has it taken off as it has. As the major theatre in Dallas went through transitions, Watertower got stronger. Creative plays, board building, the hiring of Greg Patterson to be a strong ally of Terry and more.Through all of this work, people got to know people through the Theatre and then became champions of it's work. And we have been one of those champions.
