Audra McDonald headlines TCC’s Rhapsody gala RICH LOPEZ | Staff writerrich@dallasvoice.com Honestly this interview could have simply been the following: Dallas Voice: Oh my god, Audra McDonald!
Mike: I know right!! Sean: Oh my gosh, Audra! And repeat. Audra McDonald is a true legend of the stage. The actor who has won the most Tony Awards ever — as well as a few Grammys and Emmys thrown in — will come to Dallas to headline the Turtle Creek Chorale’s Rhapsody gala this Saturday, March 5, at the Meyerson Symphony Center.
The fundraiser benefits the TCC as well as the Black Theatre United, a nonprofit organization McDonald helped found that works toward racial equity and social justice work within the theater community.
Saturday’s gala marks the organization’s second after its 2019 inaugural event with Idina Menzel. (OMG, Idina!) “We’ve grown since we created this two years ago for our 40th anniversary,” said Mike Dilbeck, TCC’s director of marketing and development. “And we’re doing this along the lines that our brand reflects.” The gala is Dilbeck’s baby, and his goal was to create an upscale fundraising event.
