SHERLOCK HOLMES IN THE CRUCIFER OF BLOOD August 5 - September 5

A spectacular mystery by Paul Giovanni.

Watching Holmes and Watson untangle the knots of eight murders is reasonably entertaining. Watching them do it on Jeffrey Schmidt's elegantly decrepit, remarkably mobile scenery full of

giant clock gears, flywheels and rusty turnkeys is like peering at old pen-and-ink illustrations come to life ..• Aesthetically, this is Theatre Three's most sophisticated show ... " -- Elaine Liner, Dallas Observer

33 VARIATIONS September 30 - October 30

A play in variation form by Moises Kaufman.

'You don't have to love Beethoven going

into 33 Variations to get something out of the play. Learning to do so is just one of the benefits you might reap from seeing it."·· Lawson Taitte, The Dallas Morning

SONGS FROM AN UNMADE BED September 3 - October 3

A sensational new song cycle by Marie Campbell.

TALES FROM MOUNT OLYMPUS October 29 - November 28

By Theatre Three's Bruce R. Coleman.

"This clearly is an all-ages sh.ow. But it is by no means unsophisticated. It even has some scary moments, as when Perseus confronts snakey-haired Medusa and when hellish, three-headed guard dog Cerberus makes his entrance. This

production, though, is nothing to bark at" -- Perry Stewart, Theater Jones.com

C THE ANNUAL FUND

Dear Playgoer, Theatre Three is thriving as we

head into our 49th year and more than once I'm asked how we do it. Well, the answer is YOU, and loyal patrons like you, make it possible. Without friends responding sig­nificantly to our appeals for support, there never could have been almost five decades of artistic accomplish­ment and community enrichment on Theatre Three's arena stage. I give the artists of the theatre enormous credit and they deserve it. But way back in 1961 we started building a cadre of supportive patrons, too. That you choose to continue to be our patron makes me personally proud. Your friendship to Theatre Three makes the theatre's cultural achieve­ments possible and meaningful.

We've launched our Annual Fund campaign with a matching gift opportunity. A portion of each donation you make between now and November 15th to Theatre Three's Annual Fund, will be matched by a fund set up through the generous support of Janet Spencer Shaw, The John and Bonnie Strauss Foundation, The Ruth C. and Charles S. Sharp Foundation, and John and Meg Hauge: inspiring longtime friends indeed.

They are hoping, as I am, that their belief in the theatre will inspire increased generosity from other friends of the theatre like you. Please extend your generosity to us once again. With this matching fund, every dollar you give will be doing that much more to support Theatre Three. The Board of Directors and Theatre Three's staff pledge to be good stewards of your Annual Fund support. Thank you for your ongoing friendship and support.

Sincerely,

�C'AL� Jae Alder EXECUTIVE PRODUCER-DIRECTOR
