Tootsie | Broadway at the Bass

From whole patient to whole health.

TREATBOLDLY.UNTHSC.EDU

Students, faculty, patients and neighbors all have one thing in common: they’re people. And we put the needs of our people first. In addition to being a premier academic medical center, HSC believes in the bigger picture of health. Five schools and one shared purpose. Creating an environment where innovation and ideas can thrive, and all people feel informed, empowered and understood.

When we’re all connected, we’re in it together. HSC. ASK BRAVELY. TREAT BOLDLY.

In this new pop musical based on the life of Jesus, a common-man-from-anobscure-family arrives in the big city and defies expectations. Melding a youthful voice with a timeless perspective, the greatest story ever told is brought into the third millennium, reminding us of the universal power of love and redemption.

May 7–September 3

The exhibition is organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Kimbell Art Museum. It is supported in part by the William and Catherine Bryce Memorial Fund, the Texas Commission on the Arts, and the Fort Worth Tourism Public Improvement District.

Performing Arts Fort Worth is the 501(c)3 non-profit organization that owns and operates Bass Performance Hall. As a non-profit organization, we rely upon ticket sales, corporate sponsorships and individual contributions to help fulfill our mission to serve as a permanent home to major performing arts organizations of Fort Worth and as a premier venue for other attractions so as to enhance the range, quality, and accessibility of cultural fare available to the public; to promulgate arts education; and to contribute to the cultural life of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and the region.

ANGELS IN THE WINGS

Angels in the Wings support the Children’s Education Program of Performing Arts Forth Worth at the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall with gifts of $1,000 and above. The Children’s Education Program is an integral part of Bass Performance Hall but maintains its own support independent of Performing Arts Fort Worth. Each year, 70,000 students from Fort Worth ISD and North Texas experience highquality curriculum-related performing arts programs at Bass Performance Hall that are free of charge to all participants because of the generosity of our Angels in the Wings.
