Support the North Texas Food Bank while Seeing Dallas Theater Center’s Holiday Production of A Christmas Carol

The DTC’s annual fundraising drive benefits local families facing hunger.

This holiday season, the Dallas Theater Center (DTC) and the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) are teaming up once again to fight hunger in North Texas through an annual holiday tradition: A Christmas Carol. As part of the annual production, on stage November 29 through December 28 at the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre, DTC will host a fund and food drive to support families facing food insecurity in the region.

A Christmas Carol cast members will collect monetary donations after each performance, with all funds raised benefiting the North Texas Food Bank’s efforts to provide nutritious meals to children, families and older adults in need.

Erica Yaeger, Chief External Affairs Officer for the North Texas Food Bank, said the collaboration is a powerful reminder of the importance of spreading joy during the holidays.

“As we watch the Cratchit family come together around their meager holiday meal in A Christmas Carol, it is a powerful reminder that the holidays are a time to nourish traditions, celebrate and share meals with our loved ones,” she says. “Sadly, nearly 778,000 in North Texas struggle with hunger every day, including the holidays. The North Texas Food Bank is deeply grateful for our long-standing partnership with the Dallas Theater Center. With the help of DTC’s generous patrons, we can ensure our neighbors have access to nutritious food—bringing joy, hope, and love to those who need it most this holiday season and beyond.”

Since 2007, DTC has played a key role in raising nearly $934,000 for the North Texas Food Bank, helping to provide essential meals to individuals facing hunger across the region. Every dollar donated this year will supply three meals to families in need. DTC cast members and staff also volunteer regularly at NTFB’s Perot Family Campus, where they assist with sorting and packaging food for distribution to local food pantries and partner organizations.

Kevin Moriarty, Executive Director of Dallas Theater Center, expressed his pride in continuing the partnership.

“Dallas Theater Center is honored to support the essential work of the North Texas Food Bank. Nearly 14,000 children and adults will experience A Christmas Carol throughout this holiday season. This timeless production brings holiday cheer and inspires audiences to make a real difference in the lives of those struggling in our community. For the past 17 years, DTC’s audience has generously provided over 2.8 million nutritious meals through this partnership, and we are proud to continue this vital tradition.

Adapted by Kevin Moriarty, Charles Dickens’s classic holiday tale follows Ebenezer Scrooge as he embarks on a transformative journey through Christmases past, present, and future. With its joyful songs, magical spirits, and messages of redemption, A Christmas Carol captures the season’s true spirit and reminds us all of the importance of compassion and generosity.

A Christmas Carol runs from November 29 through December 28 at the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre, 2400 Flora St., Dallas. Tickets are available now at dallastheatercenter.org or by calling (214) 522-8499.
