Blog· Entertainment

dallas theaterAs the organization celebrates 30 great years of service to the community, Dallas Children’s Theater (DCT) announces an astonishing lineup of shows and activities including a community birthday party and a hat design contest!  DCT raises its hat in gratitude and admiration to all the artists, patrons, board members and friends who have helped to make DCT what it is today.

“Our hats are off to the nearly four million people, and counting, who have seen a DCT performance to date,” says Robyn Flatt, DCT’s Executive Artistic Director and Co-Founder.  “Three decades is a dream come true and we are planning parties and fun for everyone so that celebration lasts all season long.”  The fun kicks off with a free community birthday party on Saturday, September 21, 2013 in conjunction with opening weekend and the North Texas premiere of DR. SEUSS’S THE CAT IN THE HAT.   Additionally, two ticketed Party and Play events will take place on January 25, 2014 (during GO, DOG. GO!) and April 26, 2014 (during CHARLOTTE’S WEB). Growing in popularity have been DCT’s free show themed-parties on opening nights, which will continue in 2013-2014.

Also very popular was DCT’s costume design contest during “Pinkalicious The Musical” with Emmy-nominated designer Lyle Huchton. Not to let the 30th birthday slide by….This summer, DCT invites all youth from kindergarten through twelfth grade to participate in a hat design contest!  Details will be released soon!

The 2013-2014 season includes three North Texas premieres, a bilingual play, four charming musicals, two Teen Scene Players productions, two Kathy Burks Theatre of Puppetry Arts productions, a Lone Star Circus holiday extravaganza, and six delightful stage adaptations of beloved books.  Flatt continues, “I am especially excited about presenting Lone Star Circus for the first time ever as part of our season, and to direct MARIACHI GIRL.  Both promise to inspire in only the way live performance can, while at the same time facilitating international collaboration to DCT.”  The 2013-2014 season kicks off in September 2013 and continues through July 2014 with eleven productions.

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW.

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
