Every year on March 27, theatre lovers around the world celebrate World Theatre Day, honoring the power of the performing arts. Theatre serves as a space for storytelling, cultural expression, and community engagement. In Addison, this tradition is carried forward by The Addison Performing Arts Centre, a venue with a rich history of fostering creativity.
Formerly known as the Addison Theatre Centre, The Addison Performing Arts Centre has been a pillar of the local arts scene for decades. Originally designed as a community and professional theatre hub, the venue has grown into a dynamic space that continues to elevate the arts in North Texas.
The facility was created as part of Addison’s commitment to cultural development, offering a versatile performance space for artists and theatre companies. Over the years, it has hosted a diverse range of productions, from classic plays to contemporary works and experimental performances. One of The Addison’s defining features is its commitment to innovation. It has provided a stage for productions that push creative boundaries and has nurtured emerging talent by offering a platform for theatre companies to showcase their work.
What better way to honor the magic of live theatre than by experiencing it for yourself? The Addison has long been home to WaterTower Theatre, one of Texas’s top professional theatre companies, and this year, they’re marking World Theatre Day in dramatic fashion with their production of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire. Whether you’re a longtime theatre fan or just looking for a night of unforgettable storytelling, this classic drama is the perfect way to celebrate the power of the stage. Don’t miss your chance to catch this incredible production from March 26 to April 5! Tickets are available here.
As The Addison Performing Arts Centre continues to evolve, its mission remains the same: to inspire, entertain, and connect the community through the arts. The recent name change reflects a broader vision for the venue—embracing not just theatre but a wide spectrum of performing arts, including music and dance.
Whether you’re a lifelong theatre enthusiast or a newcomer to the stage, there’s no better time to support the performing arts. Visit The Addison Performing Arts Centre, attend a show, and be part of a legacy that continues to shape our community’s cultural fabric.
