Casa Mañana Theatre is a famous performing arts center. It is also known as the "House of Tomorrow." This theater is located in the Cultural District of Fort Worth, Texas.
Casa Mañana first opened its doors in 1936. It was originally an outdoor theater. Its opening was part of the official Texas Centennial Celebration. Today, Casa Mañana is an important part of the Fort Worth community. It is a member of several local business and arts groups.
Understanding Different Types of Shows
In February 2022, Casa Mañana put on the musical Matilda: The Musical. This show led to some discussion about how different types of performances are presented.
The theater offers various kinds of shows. Some are "Youth events" designed for younger audiences. These often have earlier start times. They might also be shorter versions of the full show. Ticket prices for youth events are usually lower. They can also use pre-recorded music.
Other shows are part of the "MainStage Broadway Series." These are full-scale productions. They typically have higher ticket prices. Usually, these Broadway-style shows include a live orchestra.
When Matilda: The Musical was performed, it was advertised in two ways. It was called both a Children's Show and a Broadway Series show. However, it did not have a live orchestra. This caused some disagreement among different groups. These groups felt that a Broadway Series show should always have live music.
