Webster's definition of kindness looks something like this: an act of good will; benevolence; that temper or disposition which delights in contributing to the happiness of others; charity; hospitality. Other words used to describe kindness include empathy, sensitivity, affection, humanitarianism, and sensibility. Author Henry James is quoted as saying: “Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.”

In DCT's 2019-2020 season of amazing plays, we are coloring the world with kindness. Whether it is showing a Beast a little compassion, or giving companionship to a lonely Old Man....Whether it's a Nana taking the time to show her grandson that our differences are what make us special, or a shy teacher getting just the encouragement he needs from his students...the theme of kindness is guaranteed to be a big part of the conversation before the show, on the way home, and hopefully in the acts and deeds of our young people for years beyond.

Join us this season in coloring the world with kindness...

Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Music by Alan Menken
Lyrics by Howard Ashman & Tim Rice
Book by Linda Woolverton
Directed by Nancy Schaeffer

September 22 - October 27, 2019
Be our guest for this tale as old as time! Spirited Belle longs for adventure beyond her small, country town. But does she get more than she bargained for when the Beast captures her father and she is forced to trade places to save him? Favorite castle figures Lumiere, Cogsworth, Chip, and Mrs. Potts hold out hope that Belle can, at last, be the one to help the misunderstood Beast learn to love and be loved in return. If so, they can all be rescued from the curse they are under. Can she do it before the last rose petal falls? Beloved songs mixed with a touch of compassion and kindness highlight the power of true love in this large-scale, family musical based on the Disney classic.

Recommended for ages 5 and up

LAST STOP ON MARKET STREET

By Matt de la Peña, Illustrated by Christian Robinson Winner of the 2016 Newbery Medal
Adapted by Gloria Bond Clunie
Directed by vickie washington

March 21 - April 5, 2020
On a Sunday after church in a bustling, ethnically and culturally diverse American city, CJ and his Nana board the public bus for their weekly trip across town to help out at a soup kitchen. Along the way, CJ notices the many differences among people and asks tons of curious questions: Why don't we have a car? How come that man can't see? How come it's always so dirty over there? How?...Why?...With Nana's fearless and compassionate guidance, CJ discovers that everyone and everything has a unique rhythm and purpose; that the world's got answers if we listen with more than our ears and see with more than our eyes. This inspiring and imaginative play is based on The New York Times bestseller that won a Newbery Medal, Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor, and a Caldecott Honor.

Adapted for the stage by Barry Kornhauser
Directed by Dick Monday

April 18 - May 3, 2020
Guess what? It's The Old Man's birthday! And the entire audience is invited to celebrate. The Old Man lives a quiet, solitary life. That is, until a mischievous red balloon blows through his window looking for a friend. The wonder and magic of play take centerstage in this charming show packed with hilarious antics and delightful surprises. Great for short attention spans and the wee ones, this uplifting and interactive experience shows how, with a little imagination, companionship is everywhere.

TEEN SCENE PLAYERS PRESENT

ANDI BOI

Written and Directed by Bruce R. Coleman
Co-produced with Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts
in partnership with First Unitarian Church of Dallas

February 7 - 16, 2020
As more and more young people are coming to terms with gender identity and transitioning, there is a need for resources that can encourage conversation and understanding in a safe and open environment. Dallas Children's Theater is pleased to add this topic to its series of internationally-recognized teen issue plays. Andi is a transgender teen entering his first day of school identifying as a male. Former classmates recall his last name when they hear it, but there is something different about Andi that keeps the dots from connecting clearly in their minds. Soon his new teachers, classmates, and his classmates' parents will figure it out. How will they react? With aggression? With compassion? With confusion? Inspired by one teen's journey, ANDI BOI is told with a sensitivity towards Andi and uses wit, heart, and warmth to help audiences find their way to greater compassion and awareness. Post-show conversations with subject matter resources will follow every performance.

Inspired by one teen's journey, this play is not attempting to represent the spectrum of scenarios that are going on in the transgender community, but rather to pave a way to start conversation and foster awareness and understanding.

Here's another special add-on opportunity
