KITCHEN DOG THEATER to Host Benefit Night for SAG Foundation

Heldt/Hall Theater
The McKinney Avenue Contemporary (The MAC), 3120 McKinney Avenue
Kitchen Dog Theater‘s 19th season of theater continues with the Southwest premiere of SLASHER by KDT Artistic Company Member Allison Moore. The hilarious hit of the 2009 Human Festival, SLASHER follows the story of Sheena who is cast as the "last girl" in a low-budget slasher flick filming in Austin, TX. SLASHER is a wild ride that puts filmmaking on-stage. Actors play for both the camera and a live audience, capturing hysterical behind-the-scenes meltdowns and explosive obstacles.
In the spirit of SLASHER's fusion of theatre and film, SLASHER director and SAG member, Tina Parker, has partnered with the Screen Actors Guild's Dallas branch to host a benefit night for the Screen Actors Guild Foundation. The SAG Foundation (www.sagfoundation.org) provides healthcare for actors in need, emergency financial relief for families, and a variety of education and literacy programs. Its mission is to "enhance the lives of actors by investing in programs which help them in their professional endeavors and the communities in which they live." $10 of every ticket sold on November 20th will be donated to the SAG Foundation. Attendees will also enjoy a post-show reception with the cast and members of the Kitchen Dog company.
SLASHER opens on Friday, November 13 and runs through Saturday, December 12 in the Heldt/Hall Theater at the McKinney Avenue Contemporary (The MAC) located at 3120 McKinney Avenue in Uptown. Ticket prices range from $30 for all opening night tickets, $15 - $25 for adults and $10 - $20 for MAC, STAGE, KERA, DART, ARTSCARD, TCG members, students and senior citizens/65+(all with proper ID). Special group rates are also available. All tickets are general admission seating. Performances are Thursday through Saturday evenings at 8PM, with additional performances on Wednesday at 8pm (November 25 and December 9) and Sunday matinees at 2pm (November 22 and 29 and December 6).
