CASTING NOTE: Dallas Theater Center maintains a resident acting company. When casting productions,
DTC looks first to the Diane and Hal Brierley Resident Acting Company to fill roles. DTC also maintains a
relationship with Meadows School of the Arts at SMU. As part of this relationship DTC often casts
