OUR VISION
We envision WaterTower as a leading home for professional theatre in North Texas, proudly rooted in Addison. A place where artists and new ideas take shape, audiences come together, and the work created on our stages connects people to stories, voices, and ideas from across North Texas and beyond.
WHERE YOUR SUPPORT GOES
WaterTower Theatre is entering Season 31 with a renewed sense of purpose and an exciting new chapter ahead. For 30 years, we have brought professional theatre to Addison, creating a home where artists and audiences come together through meaningful storytelling.
Producing that work is becoming more expensive, and the way audiences discover and engage with theatre is changing. That means our responsibility is not only to continue producing exceptional work, but to invest wisely in the people and relationships that will keep WaterTower strong for years to come.
Your North Texas Giving Day gift directly supports that work. It helps us employ and collaborate with local professional artists, develop new work, create programs like PIPELINE that connect artists and young professionals, and improve the experience of every patron who walks through our doors.
One of our immediate priorities is replacing and improving our website, which is often a patron’s first interaction with WaterTower Theatre. We want purchasing a ticket, learning about a production, supporting the theatre, or discovering an opportunity for an artist to be simple and accessible. A stronger digital presence will help us better serve our current audiences while reaching new patrons across Dallas-Fort Worth and North Texas.
Your support also helps us meet the rising costs of producing professional theatre and invest directly in what matters most, on our stage, in the hands of our artists, and in the experience we create for our audiences.
As we begin this next chapter, every gift helps us build a stronger WaterTower, one that welcomes audiences, tells meaningful stories, creates opportunities for artists, and remains an important part of the cultural life of Addison and North Texas.
Your support makes that possible!
