All things theatrical do not happen just in the Dallas Arts District. The folks north of LBJ in Addison have got a fine little gem that has stage lovers discovering the talents at WaterTower Theatre. And, of course, because fundraising is part of the nonprofit’s fun-raising activities, they know how to make their supporters feel special. Here’s a report from the field about WaterTower’s Donor Appreciation reception on Tuesday, July 21:
“Last night WaterTower Theatre held its annual Donor Appreciation event at Antonio Ristorante in Addison. More than 90 donors attended the party which was hosted by Executive Chef Antonio Avona.
