CTD is excited to present the premiere of a brand new comedy drama from the author of Come Back To The 5 & Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean. The story takes place in the aging Blue Moon Dance Hall outside the West Texas city of McCarthy. The play is a mosaic of a day in the Moon and the lives of some of its idiosyncratic regulars and passers through, including the wedding of two regulars that takes place on the dance floor where they first found each other, the longing for Dallas, Elvis, and the face of Jesus in a water stain on the ceiling.

Dates: August 20th – September 12, 2010. There will be a pay-what-you-can preview on Thursday, August 19th at 7:30 p.m. Regular performances Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. There will be no performance Sunday, August 22nd.

Tickets: Main floor seating: $32 for adults and $27 for seniors (60 and up).  Balcony seating: $27 for adults and $22 for seniors (60 and up).  $10 student rush tickets go on sale to students with ID 15 minutes before curtain.  Discounts available for KERA members, STAGE members, and groups of 10 or more.  For tickets, call 214.828.0094.  Tickets available online soon.
