Welcome to Pegasus Theatre

Dear Pegasus Theatre Friend,

I have some news to share with you, some good, some not, but overall some very exciting developments for Pegasus Theatre and the Black & White series!

I'll get the not-so-good news out of the way first. The state of the economy seems to be affecting almost everyone and we're no exception. As a result, we were not able to present a Black & White show at the Eisemann Center in January of 2009. In addition to our own personal disappointment, we realize this was a letdown to our loyal fan base. I promise you, it was not an easy decision to make but it was a necessary one.

The good news, however, is very exciting! We are in negotiations with an experienced tour producer, and he wants to include one of Pegasus Theatre's Black & White shows in an upcoming tour of medium-sized Texas towns.

The idea is the tour will start with a run in Dallas and then we will hit the road with our actors, set, and costumes doing a week of shows in various Texas towns who often don't have as many live theatre options as Dallas has. Best of all, the venues we will perform in are renovated vaudeville and old movie theatres across the state--a perfect setting for the Black & White shows which are designed to look like old movies come to life on stage!

Given the state of the national economy, the producer of this tour is moving cautiously so I can't give you more specifics just yet. The fact the Black & White shows bring joy to so many people has kept us going all these years, and I hope it will sustain us for many more years to come

If everything goes as planned, we're hopeful of having a production during November in Dallas which would kick-off the Texas Tour in December. We're also stepping up our efforts to secure the up-front funding we need to return to the Eisemann Center in January 2010.
