Tickets are on sale at the Dallas Summer Musicals Box Office and at Ticketmaster locations. A portion of every ticket sold goes to the preservation fund for the Majestic. Any net proceeds will be given to various “senior arts” groups in North Texas, with the majority going to the VNA’s Meals-on-Wheels program.

Buy a ticket, see a great show, support the folks who keep live music alive, and those who help seniors who can’t get out and about.

There is a documentary filmmaker in Houston whom I have been working with since the mid-’90s on the documentary about the Interstate Theatre chain of which the Majestic was the first one (the Lakewood [1938] and the Inwood [1947] are examples of Interstate’s neighborhood theaters that one lady was talking about). If we lose the Majestic, that will be quite the tragedy in Dallas. You will find me as one of those people who stands in front of bulldozers if it comes to that. This is something that I am very passionate about, if you can’t tell.

Thanks for sharing this story in trying to save our collective heritage and a beautiful piece of true Americana.
