Mission
WaterTower Theatre’s mission is to open minds with a diverse mix of plays and educational programs that inspire people to experience and embrace live theatre.
History
WaterTower Theatre has become a theatrical force of nature through its consistent excellence and sharp programming. Combining Broadway-quality productions with the beauty of an intimate playing space, WaterTower Theatre provides experiences that are powerful and insightful, intense and uplifting. WaterTower Theatre provides the community with an opportunity to examine man’s conditions from all perspectives and promotes growth through humor and drama.
Founded in 1996, WaterTower Theatre began life with 136 brave subscribers. Today, with over 2000 subscribers and a budget of $1.1 million, it consistently earns rave reviews in The Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Dallas Observer, and other local publications. With 104 Dallas Theatre League Leon Rabin Nominations and 28 wins to its credit, as well as 16 Dallas Fort Worth Theatre Critics Forum Awards, WaterTower Theatre is home to the finest local talent.
A committed and intrepid producer of new work, the theatre has presented 5 world premiere productions and 13 regional premiere productions to date. WaterTower Theatre's tradition of world premiere programming includes the musicals Song of Motherhood and Blind Lemon: Prince of Country Blues. Dramatic world premieres include Free Fall with Sandy Duncan, Baptized to the Bone by Dave Johnson (which is enjoying healthy post-WaterTower Theatre life) and A Country Life, Producing Artistic Director Terry Martin’s southern adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya. Both Blind Lemon and A Country Life earned WaterTower Theatre a Dallas Theatre League Leon Rabin Award for Best New Work.
WaterTower Theatre is committed to nurturing emerging talent and expanding audiences. The annual Out of the Loop Fringe Festival strives to present new work by local and national writers. A major part of WaterTower Theatre’s education program partners professional artists and technicians with students at our Summer Performing Arts Academy, where students ages 8 - 18 learn “life skills through theatre skills.” In addition, master classes and workshops for professional performers offer an opportunity for continued education at the local level.
WTT is privileged to make its home at the Addison Theatre Centre, an award-winning flexible theatre space that can be reconfigured to accommodate each new production. WaterTower’s expanding artistic vision, deepening service to the community and growing audiences have led to a unique partnership with the Town of Addison, one aimed at the development of an exciting destination for patrons to experience the best in theatrical and performing arts.
WaterTower Theatre is a Constituent of Theatre Communications Group (TCG), the national organization for the American theatre and a member of the Dallas Theatre League.
Vision
We at WaterTower Theatre strive to create magic - a special kind of magic that changes our audiences and ourselves. If we are ever lucky enough to experience this kind of magic, we are transformed - transformed by the communication of thoughts and ideas that have an authentic connection to those who experience the work we do.
We believe our work must have something to say about what we believe in and feel passionate about. We strive to provide a connection between ourselves as artists and those who view our work. We hope to inspire the type of thinking that allows reflection and personal change, the type of thinking that is a catalyst for remembrance, the type of thinking that is a reinvestment into those beliefs and experiences that imbue our lives with meaning.
To do this, WaterTower Theatre produces a wide range of dramatic literature. Comedies and dramas. Plays and musicals. Classics by the great writers of Western literature as well as new works by up-and-coming authors who provide us with original thoughts, fresh ideas, and up-to-the-minute expressions that reflect our modern and ever-changing lives.
WaterTower Theatre provides a place for the community and the world at large to come together to share, to communicate, and to have an experience that is both life affirming and soul expanding. We vow, to the best of our ability, to create a very special kind of theatre. Theatre that provides an experience that is meaningful and significant to those who experience it. Theatre that can provide a “source of hope.” That can change someone’s life for the better.
Woody Guthrie once described a good song: “It can’t just be good; it has to be good for something.” Our ultimate vision is to be good for something.
