A Look Back at The Elevator Project 2023/2024 Season

The Elevator Project 2023/2024 Season also recently wrapped up after yet another year of innovative, compelling and critically acclaimed work that is generating discussion and applause in the vibrant Dallas theater scene. This included everything from a 17th century swashbuckling lesbian, to a legendary broadcast journalist, to a poignant story set in a historic Black Dallas neighborhood.

The AT&T Performing Arts Center’s unique Elevator Project has been giving voice to small, emerging and historically marginalized Dallas arts organizations and artists since 2014. These productions range from single-night engagements to two-week runs spanning theater, dance, spoken word, opera, cabaret, comedy and more.

Below is a snapshot of a few 2023/2024 Season featured shows.

Elm Thicket

Written by Soul Rep Theater Co-Founder and noted Dallas playwright Anyika McMillan-Herod, Elm Thicket is a serio-comedy set in 2020 in Dallas’ Elm Thicket community where McMillan-Herod grew up. The story is centered around two middle-aged neighbors’ attempt to explore love and friendship while facing a complicated history, world pandemic, social unrest, and neighborhood gentrification.

MURROW by Joseph Vitale

MURROW was the regional premiere of a powerful, multimedia, one-man show exploring the life and work of legendary news broadcaster Edward R. Murrow. The show served as both a lens to examine where we are now as a nation of media consumers, and a mirror providing reflections of much needed lessons from our modern history.

La Maupin: The French Abomination

La Maupin is a tale of love and tragedy set in 17th century France, wrapped up in a high-octane “Punk Rock meets Vanity Fair” package. Based on the true story of Julie D’Aubigny, the bisexual duelist and opera singer was famous for dueling men and wooing their women. Through a beautiful mix of sword fighting and dance.
