Mark Brian Sonna, founder of MBS Productions, sent the following letter to Dallas Voice regarding the city of Addison’s refusal to promote his company’s latest production, Vampire Bros and Werewolf Lesbians on a city-owned electronic billboard: Since 2005 my theater company, MBS Productions, has performed at the Addison Theatre Centre.
In the 18 years I’ve done business with Addison I have never encountered a problem till now as our production of Vampire Bros vs.
Werewolf Lesbians is about to open on October 19th. Addison has a large electronic billboard that straddles Belt Line Road. On it events, plays, festivals are advertised.
Prior to that banners were placed over the street displaying such events. When the electronic billboard was installed, the city made it available to the different organizations for free as a way to promote the events within the city.
