Susan Mansour, who's living in North Texas now and starred in Uptown Players' The Valley of the Dolls last year, is back on Broadway -- in the stage adaptation of Irving Berlin's White Christmas. It's not her first time on the Great White Way; she was featured in the original cast of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

Former colleague Tom Sime's My Favorite Animal, his Big Apple debut, closed yesterday in New York. It got our very active playwright some good notices. Onward and upward.

Dallas Theater Center patrons no Scrooges

I just had a note from Dallas Theater Center publicist Jake Cigainero that the company's charity drive is going gangbusters:

DTC is collecting money after every performance of A Christmas Carol to give to the North Texas Food Bank when the production closes Dec. 28.A Christmas Carol's message of charity and love really seems to resonate with audience members, because I'm incredibly proud to report that patrons attending the opening performance donated almost $1,200! But it doesn't stop there ... since opening night, we've collected almost $7,500; averaging about $1,000 a performance. I can't wait to see how much we'll collect for NTFB after a month of performances. Every dollar donated to the NTFB provides five meals for those in need.
