On March 6th, the TDWCC commenced its 2010 fundraising social season with its first ever evening-at-the-theater.  114 TDWCC guests saw the Rover Dramawerks production of Mark Twain’s A Murder, A Mystery and A Marriage at the Courtyard Theatre in downtown Plano. Performed as a Bluegrass musical, the comedy-melodrama, true to its genre, solicited audience participation. Yes!  The villain got his share of boos and hisses. The play’s narrative intentionally left some questions unanswered, so theater patrons could seek one another’s insights during the post-performance reception. The spacious, winding lobby of the Courtyard was the ideal setting for drinks, hors d’oeuvres and lively conversation. TDWCC guests mingled with each other, cast members, and Rover Dramawerks theater-goers.

TDWCC was delighted to sponsor an entertainment event that demonstrated off-off-off-off Broadway is alive and well in the historic district of downtown Plano.

Thanks to all of you who supported this successful fundraiser. We had a wonderful turnout.  Our thanks to Rover Dramawerks for their generosity in supporting our effort.
