Join us on Wednesday, December 8th at the Dee & Charles Wyly Theatre as Dallas Theater Center (DTC) celebrates playwright-in-residence Jonathan Norton on his new book, penny candy: a confection, based on his acclaimed DTC production penny candy. Guests will enjoy a social hour with food and beverages available for purchase, an exclusive conversation with Jonathan Norton and DTC Enloe/Rose Artistic Director Kevin Moriarty, and a book signing reception with Jonathan Norton!

About penny candy:

penny candy: a confection follows one family as they seek to balance their responsibilities to their community and to one another. Growing up in a candy house sounds like every kid’s dream. But for 12-year-old Jon-Jon, helping his father run Paw Paw’s Candy Tree out of their run-down one-bedroom apartment isn’t quite a dream come true. As their neighborhood of Pleasant Grove, Dallas sees a surge of violence fueled by epidemic drug use and increasing racial tensions, the business begins to fail and danger looms immediately outside the family's front door.

Covid-19 Vaccination Policy:

Dallas Theater Center will require audience members ages 12 and up to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of the event. Guests will display proof during security screening and will not be required to show identification. DTC will not save patrons information.
