Benefitting Broadway Dallas’ Give A Kid A Seat Program

Gala proceeds support the nonprofit’s mission to spread the gift of Broadway to more than 40,000 students and their families each year, including 3,400 Dallas ISD students and more than 5,000 students from 72 schools who participate in the High School Musical Theatre Awards.

“Broadway Dallas is a true historical treasure for Dallas and surrounding communities, bringing the best of Broadway in live musical theater right to our back door,” said Gail Plummer. “One passionate mission for the organization is to give aspiring performers in our local high schools the opportunity to highlight their talents through the High School Musical Theater Awards, and our raised funds go to university scholarships for many of the program’s participants. Through Broadway Dallas’ Give A Kid A Seat program, young students are given the opportunity to attend a performance, many for the first time.  The magic and wonder in the eyes of these kids is something I will never forget!” 

“We have a beautiful and exciting evening to look forward to, but it’s important to remember that beneath all the glamour, we are gathering to support Broadway Dallas’ ability to make a difference in the lives of children and families throughout our community. I’m grateful to this year’s Co-Chairs, Jolie Humphrey and Gail Plummer, for their planning and leadership to ensure we’re able to continue spreading the spirit of Broadway throughout North Texas and beyond.”
