Theater Three presents, Mid-Life, The Crisis Musical, a polished, fall-out-of-your-seat funny show is woven of a series of vignettes dealing with classic midlife phenomena – all unpleasant, and virtually all hilarious. Brash, refreshing, and inventively silly, it has an honesty that makes it okay to laugh at ourselves. Dallas-born Norma Young founded Theater Three in 1961 with a $3,000 inheritance from a great-aunt she never knew. Ms. Young had worked as a teacher, as an actress, and as a stage manager in New York, and at the Alley Theatre in Houston. Eager to establish a professional theatre in her hometown, she attracted three additional co-founders to her vision (Jac Alder, Esther Ragland, and Robert Dracup) and began producing a wide range of dramatic literature. Plays were staged in-the-round (the first seven show season was at the just-opened Sheraton Dallas Hotel) and immediately met with critical and popular approval.
