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. CommentsE-mail entry: |

Thought you might like to know that the Dallas Theater Center hit the $40,000 mark on the closing show of Christmas Carol, Dec. 28.
What a wonderful gift to the North Texas Food Bank. The younger Crachitts spent 20 extra minutes every performance, including school nights (!) during the 48 shows collecting from audience members. So bravo to the six youngest cast members who donated their time and efforts for such a great cause.
