- NexBank and Dallas Children's Theater (DCT) proudly present the Fourth Annual Rosewood Awards featuring a Benefit Performance by internationally acclaimed Greek-American soprano Gigi Chakos on April 5, 2008, 7:30 pm, at DCT's Rosewood Center for Family Arts.
The Rosewood Awards are presented annually in honor of those individuals and institutions whose extraordinary contributions to DCT embody the philanthropic
standards established by The Rosewood Corporation's support of DCT's mission. The Rosewood Awards Committee selects recipients who have demonstrated excellence in philanthropy and service in three categories: Corporate/Foundation, Individual and Special Recognition.
This year DCT recognizes Texas Instruments Corporation and The T.I. Foundation as the recipient of the Corporate/Foundation Awards. Dee and Charles Wyly will receive The Rosewood Award as Individual Benefactors. Special Recognition goes to Craig Sutton. In their individual ways, all have believed in the mission of the theater and supported its growth since its earliest days.
Robyn Flatt, DCT's Executive Artistic Director, states, "It is with great pride and honor that we pay tribute to these extraordinary friends. The Rosewood Awards allow us to show our gratitude for remarkable contributions and unwavering support through the years."
Cocktails begin at 7:00 pm. The awards show curtain and concert, "From Berlin to Broadway" starts at 7:30 pm, followed by a reception. Tickets are $50 or $100 and can be purchased online at www.dct.org, or by contacting Reg Platt at 214-978-0110 ext. 168, or
