2015 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY
Entertaining. Educating. Inspiring. The AT&T Performing Arts Center is always in motion. Enriching our community today and envisioning what the Center can be tomorrow. It wasn’t that long ago that the concept of a center for the performing arts was just a dream. Thanks to the passion, dedication and generosity of many, that seed took root and the nonprofit Center became a reality that has enlivened downtown Dallas through breathtaking art and inviting spaces. A campus where memories take shape, traditions begin and different kinds of people come together to find a place in the arts. In many ways, the Center has helped change the course of our city. Today, we hope this Report to the Community helps you consider what the Center has become in your life. Whether you joined us for a free community event, attended a record-breaking Broadway show, enjoyed provocative original works or delighted in every performer who came singing, dancing and leaping into your midst, your experience always remains top of mind. It is your presence, alongside so many others, that defines what the Center means to North Texas. You are the community and we are too. As we look forward, we are always seeking ways to strengthen and grow our organization and its position in the community. How can our campus continue being a fertile ground for original works, reaching new levels of artistry? How can we continue collaborating with fellow arts organizations so the rising cultural tide lifts us all? As you look through this report, we hope you see how far we have come and the potential ahead. The Center is always in motion. Where we go, and how we get there, is something we do together. Best regards,
Matrice Ellis-Kirk

AT&T Performing Arts Center
The Center joined the Dallas Symphony Orchestra to present an epic evening for the
Soluna Festival. Grammy Award-winning indie rock genius St. Vincent performed with DSO members in the Winspear Opera House. A one-year experiment called the Elevator Project concluded in the success column. The initiative provided six growing dance and theatre organizations a temporary stage in the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre. This special collaboration aimed the Center’s spotlight on these stimulating performances in the Dallas Arts District.
Combining forces to create more than the sum of our parts.

The continued growth of Dallas Black Dance Theatre has proliferated stirring and grand works (like Oremus at the Cultural Awareness series) by promising choreographers who are sparking interest in this iconic company. From climbing treacherous heights in Everest, to the witty comedy Great Scott, the original productions of
The Dallas Opera are reinvigorating the opera genre and captivating new and old fans alike.
Dallas Theater Center’s distinctive and compelling storytelling ranges from cultural narratives like Stagger Lee to side-splitting, raucous premieres like MOONSHINE: That Hee Haw Musical.
