Teen Brain: The Musical at Dallas Children’s Theater

It’s Friday in the life of eight young people as they navigate the rough waters of high school. Experience a NEW high-energy musical full of drama, humor, and real-life situations interwoven with the latest discoveries about the mysterious teen brain.  Is this your life?  Your school?  Find out by coming to see the world premiere of Teen Brain: The Musical performed by DCT’s Teen Scene Players playing February 15 – 24, 2013.

DCT’s teen and young adult programming focuses on issues and interests of the underserved teen audience.  In response to the many requests for more performance opportunities for teens, last season DCT’s Academy introduced the Teen Scene Players, an advanced acting training course for young adults, with an added level of professionalism by including a public performance.  All classes taught in the DCT Academy culminate in a presentation for invited family and friends on DCT’s stages, however, the Teen Scene Players class culminates in a DCT Season Special performance open to the public.

Velveteen Rabbit

“When a child loves you for a long, long time…then you become Real.”

So says the Horse to the Velveteen Rabbit in Margery Williams’ famous and much-loved literary classic.

Now the beloved children’s classic comes to vibrant life as well. A plush rabbit—given as a gift to a young boy—yearns for the day the boy will choose him as his special playmate, so that he can become real.
