Lily Gast is Debbie in Theatre Three’s Debbie Does Dallas RICH LOPEZ | Staff writerRich@DallasVoice.com Dallas theater fans may have noticed that Theatre Three is bringing sexy back — at least onstage.
Last fall’s Venus in Fur was a dominatrix drama, and Intimate Apparel gives off similar vibes (although that is a legit drama).
But it doesn’t get much steamier than an adult film classic getting the stage treatment in T3’s basement space, Theatre Too.
Debbie Does Dallas opens Jan. 23 and runs through Feb. 23. The show is directed by Theatre Three’s James Chandler. “I think that a lot of people can be quick to judge a show like Debbie Does Dallas and assume that it is a campy, raunchy, sex-filled parody show — which it is,” Chandler said in the show’s press release. “At its core, however, this is a story about a small-town girl trying to achieve her dreams with the help of her friends. “In the world we find ourselves in right now, I think everyone deserves a chance to let their hair down, turn their brain off, have fun and escape for a little while into the silly world of Debbie,” he added.
