Charity Hope Valentine, despite her job as a dancer at the seedy Fan-Dango Ballroom, is an eternal optimist who loves too much. She just happens to be the unluckiest romantic in New York City! The musical Sweet Charity is a warm, touching and humorous look at her trials and tribulations, as she repeatedly gives her heart, and her savings, to the wrong man. Adapted from Nights of Cabiria, a film by Federico Fellini, the musical Sweet Charity includes hits such as "Hey, Big Spender," "Rhythm of Life," and "If My Friends Could See Me Now."

About: The Community Cast Party is a fundraising event to support WaterTower Theatre's artistic, education and outreach programs. Unlike other "black-tie" fundraisers, this party is designed as a much more casual "open house" where patrons can enjoy good food, fantastic music, dancing, fine wine and great people.
The entertainment will feature cellist Jordan Cleaver, musical performances in The Studio Theatre hosted by Matt Ransdell with some of Dallas' most recognizable actors Zak Reynolds, Calvin Scott Roberts, Sarah Elizabeth Smith, Wendy and Willy Welch. Mark Mullino will be accompanying the performers on piano. Kate Rose will perform her one-woman cabaret show entitled Love Me, Tinder and Adam C. Wright will be accompanying her. The improv group, The Laugh Supper, will also be performing. Later in the evening, there will be an open mic portion, too.
Featured restaurants offering cuisine tastings include Table 13, The Egg and I Restaurant, Morrison's, Dough Bro's, The Mucky Duck, The Addison Ice House, Union Park Restaurant, Suga's Cakery, Outback, D'Sweets, Puerta Vallarta, Goody Goody Liquor, Lakewood Brewing Company, Kruto Vodka and more.

Members of the Creep Producer's Circle
Creep is the world premiere of Dallas playwright/composer Donald Fowler's original thriller musical. Exploring many of the dark truths surrounding the fabled "Jack the Ripper," and metaphorically examining how the individual, when dehumanized, will adapt, or hide from truth in order to survive, Creep is sure to take your breath way. Nationally-acclaimed director Kate Galvin will direct this thrilling season opener. Mature subject matter.
