Duncanville Community Theatre is celebrating their 35th anniversary season in 2022-2023, so they decided to throw a party. They invited longtime supporters, patrons, and sponsors to attend an old-fashioned ice cream social June 16, to announce their upcoming season of shows.
Executive Director Amy Jackson said, “We had a full house for the reveal and it was lots of fun. Everyone seemed to really enjoy the event…or perhaps it was the ice cream! We gave out several door prizes which included show tickets and DCT mugs. It’s the first time we’ve ever done this, but we felt like our 35th Season announcement deserved a little something extra special. It was also a good way to thank all of the folks that have helped us in our success.”
