According to 2025 Dallas Children’s Theater Gala Co-Chairs Carol and Kevin March,

“This holiday season, it’s our wish that the community join us March 21, 2025, at the iconic Longhorn Ballroom in their ‘cowboy cocktail attire’ for Dallas Children’s Theater’s (DCT’s) Annual Gala.
“As chairs this year, we’re thrilled to bring together our community in support of a mission that’s near and dear to our hearts – inspiring and enriching young audiences through theater.

“It’s an evening designed to inspire and unite, all in the name of fostering creativity and confidence in the next generation. We hope others will also want to be part of ensuring that children – all children – have access to theater’s enriching programs. Initiatives like the Sensory Friendly Program, the student matinee performance series and DCT’s classes are just some of the ways we hope kids take time off of their screens and engage with each other.
“This year’s Gala promises to be truly spectacular. We’re planning to bring the fun with a performance by Dallas-based comedy team, Lugo and Long, a gourmet dinner, the chance to win luxury raffle prizes and then dance the night away!

“We are especially excited to honor DCT’s beloved Associate Artistic Director, Artie Olaisen, who is retiring in 2025. We hope DCT friends will join us as we honor his decades of dedication to DCT.
“Dust off your cowboy hat, mark your calendars for Friday, March 21, and prepare to be captivated by DCT’s enchanting mission. With your support, we can ensure future generations can benefit from the transformational impact of theater and go on to live creative and productive lives.
