For the theatre's 50th Anniversary (20n) Theatre Three's main stage has been named the NORMA YOUNG ARENA STAGE in honor of the theatre's founding artistic director. Ms. Young, a Dallas native, served the theatre as director, leading actress and administrator from the theatre's founding in 1961 until her death in 1998.
Theatre Three thrives on her legacy of artistic and intellectual vigor, her wisdom and her continuous quest for the perfect synthesis of authors, actors and audiences.

Both Theatre Three and Theatre Too have Hearing Assistants devices which may be checked out (without charge) from the box office. These discrete devices enhance the performance experience for audience members with any degree of hearing limitation. The box office personnel can provide you with the devices either before the show or at intermission. Theatre Three's staff and board are most grateful to donors Carolyn Wickwire and Dennis West, who provided the grant that allows us to offer this enhancement to our patrons.

Cy Coleman MUSIC
A classically-trained child prodigy and concert pianist turned popular songwriter and Broadway tunesmith, Coleman made his Carnegie Hall debut at age seven and by his late teens had become somewhat of a society darling, performing jazz piano in sophisticated New York nightclubs. By the 1950s, he turned to composing pop standards (with lyricists Joseph McCarthy Jr, Bob Hilliard and Hal David) for the likes of Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole and ran his own New York nightspot, The Playroom. Teaming with clever lyricist Carolyn Leigh, Coleman wrote such hit songs as "Witchcraft" and "Firefly" before the pair composed their first two Broadway efforts--the spirited Lucille Ball vehicle Wildcat (1960), which produced the showstopper
"Hey, Look Me Over", and the brilliantly brash Neil Simon musical satire Little Me (1962). with its seductive hits "I've Got Your Number" and "Real Live Girl" and its tour de force performance by TV star Sid Caesar as all seven male characters. In 1966, Coleman wed his rhymic, upbeat jazzy scores to the words of veteran lyricist Dorothy Fields for the bouncy, insinuating score to Sweet Charity (based on Fellini's film, Nights ofCabiria and filmed by Bob Fosse in his 1969 directorial debut) and in 1973 for Seesaw, the less than successful--but nonetheless catchy--musical version ofWilliam Gibson's play Two for the Seesaw. Subsequently, he employed a variety of styles from country and western t9 blues for the intimate wife-swapping musical / Love My Wife (1977) and composed the bumptuous circus musical Barnum (1980), which also marked his debut as a Broadway producer. Coleman has won three Tony Awards: for the comic operetta On the Twentieth Century (1978; with lyricists Betty Comden and Adolph Green); for his brilliant jazz-inflected score for the witty and stylish film noir musical City of Angels (1990; with David Zippel); and for the folksy, glitzy pastiche score for The Will Rogers Follies (1991; again with Comden and Green). In 1996, he released an album of songs for a proposed musical, The Life that included tracks by Liza Minnelli and George Burns. With lyrics by Ira Gassman, it is the story of the denizens of NYC's 42nd Street, including prostitutes and pimps. This, in turn, led to a full-scale Broadway mounting the following year. While the show had its share of fans, it only managed a run of just over a year. The composer's next full-scale stage musical wasn't produced until the 21st Century, and then in Amsterdam. Coleman wrote the music

C THE ANNUAL FUND
Dear Playgoer,
You are, in this letter, going to be asked
to help the 2012-2013 Annual Fund Drive at
Theatre Three. The campaign goes on all season, but in this playbill I really want to urge
your immediate action.
You're holding this playbill in your hands
to read it. So there's something I know about you. The basic thing I know is that you attend plays. (I like you already.)
Just as the playbill is in the hands of friends like you, the theatre itself is in the hands of friends. Yes, it takes actors, directors, authors (especially authors), designers and administrators to create theatre: but FRIENDS like you
-- for over fifty years now -- have built Theatre Three's capacities, enlarged Theatre Three's range of services, and enhanced the theatre's contributions to building a community of imagination, empathy and insight.
Every reservation you make helps us grow. Every subscription you purchase empowers the art. The response you feel (and show) enriches every performance. Every friend you send or bring with you gains us ground . .Qur..
a1Jdience is our power source
Let me be personal. I've been doing my job here for more than fifty years, and I am super proud of Dallas patrons and their eagerness to support the Arts. The achievements of citizen-artists have never been more impressive and certainly the creation of Arts facilities
here is unmatched.
Since I'm being personal here, I'll tell you I take a certain pride in my personal participation in cultivating the improved "arts ecology" Dallas currently enjoys. But I never think I did anything on my own. It took friends'
investment of time, talent and treasure.
Just as there's no limit on how large a gift we could use, there's also no limit on how small a gift we would appreciate to meet the goals of the 2012-2013 Annual Fund. So, figure out something that's in your middle range to contribute, and give us the honor of listing you in subsequent playbills as one of our valued friends.
Share in the achievement here. It's a wonderful act of friendship.
Sincerely,
)CAL� )acAlder
