DALLAS CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS DEE AND CHARLES WYLY THEATRE
2009-04-19 18:04:00 "Dallas Theater Center (DTC) is recognized as one of the country?s few innovative theater companies located outside the triumvirate of New York, Chicago, and Seattle.

Spelling Bee the musical
2008-01-11 23:15:00 By Bill Rosenfield No one can predict where a musical comes from. Classic novels and popular movies have been sources, and real life experiences have found themselves musicalized – but a Spelling Bee? Well, why not? For Bill Finn, it began with a phone call from his friend, playwright Wendy Wasserstein, whose weekend nanny had been appearing in a comedy troupe called The Farm on the Lower East Side. An improvised piece that the group performed, entitled C-R-E-P-U-S-C-U-L-E, seemed to her to be the perfect gem for a musical comedy. After watching a videotape of it, Finn agreed. With the enlistment of Rachel Sheinkin, they set about developing the piece originally conceived by Rebecca Feldman, into a full-length fully developed show. read more
