Thrilled to announce that our production of SAFE AT HOME by Gabriel Greene & Alex Levy got ‘s Best of Big D Best Theater Production for 2024! Our entire “out of the box” season was a BIG gamble for us -with this show being the largest in KDT’s history (a 40+ member cast&crew, staged all over a minor league ballpark!) so we gotta say, it is extra sweet to be rewarded! ❤️⚾️❤️

We’re honored to receive a Pop-Up Grant this summer! Thank you, TACA (The Arts Community Alliance) for your unwavering support in keeping the arts thriving in Texas.

THAT’S A WRAP! 🐾 Our “Out of the Black-Box” Season 33 was one wild ride! From packed Uhaul trucks to packed crowds, it was truly one for the books. We couldn’t have done it without our amazing locations:
Riders Field, home of the Frisco Rough Riders
D-Town CrossFit
Good Records
Dallas College Richland Campus / Richland College
AND our partners:
Dallas ISD and Junior Players!!

Turns out you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! Stay tuned for more adventures in Season 34! 🌟🎭

🌟 A massive thank you to everyone who came out to see LOVE AND VINYL by Bob Bartlett during our SOLD OUT RUN! 🌟 We couldn't have done it without our amazing venue/hosts, Good Records, our incredible team, and all of you!

To celebrate, we want to hear from you:
