There once was a Dallas County oil company named Oriental Oil Company. Where did it get its name? From the downtown hotel the organizers met in. How cool is that? "Y'all come back now, ya hear."

My godmother, Norma Young. She co-founded Theatre Three in Dallas with my godfather Jac Alder along with Esther Ragland and Roy Dracup in 1961. I spent almost every day of my life from 1970 to 1981 in this theater. In the light booth, the greenroom, the dark halls, in Patty Greer McGarity's costume room. I am so grateful to have grown up in this theater with its brilliant actors, directors, and technicians. This was a theater with political consciousness and it was a great place to learn to love people of every kind and background. Because theater steps back to examine dominant culture, people find refuge from the predominantly binary, moronic and overly-assured discourses we breathe in via popular media and the mechanisms of capitalism that inform or at least make good on them. It was great to see "conservative" actors playing on stage with "liberal" actors, gay actors with straight actors, black actors with white actors, good actors with not so good actors, the care they came to have for each other in the demands of the scene, to come to know that common cause can exceed the limitations of prefab socio-political positions, and to see that there are places and people that transcend the insipid dialogs authored by corporations and their political actors, and the roles we are tacitly asked to perform as "everyday" people. People had fun. They grew together. It was hard. It was alive and good. Norma was tough and, at times, hard to please. She pushed people to be their best selves, artistically and otherwise. Her theater was a community project. And as a woman starting a theater in 1961, she was a pioneer. @theatre3dallas @theater @theatre @dallashistory @dallas @texas @love #normayoung (at Theatre Three) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByNoxAsAmpr/?igshid=og8cbm8qoneu
