Today is the last Wednesday of the month! Which means:
Upcoming Special Shows: There's an extra special show for everyone in the month of June!
Be Safe: As in any city neighborhood, be aware of your surroundings and, ideally, walk in pairs at night if you parked far away from the theater. Don't be shy about asking for a walk to your car, even if you don't know too many people at DCH yet, there is always someone who will walk you to your car.

I took this photo of my daughter "editing" What's Up Wednesday this morning because I thought it would be cute. Then she deleted everything and closed out the tab so I had to rewrite the whole dang post. Blessed be the fruit.
Marketing Your Shows In the two years since we put up the “Free Boards” at the theater, we’ve seen a sharp increase in both the quality and quantity of posters. We love how excited our performers are to market their shows! To streamline and tidy up the process of rack cards and posters inside DCH, we have a new system in place! If you have a poster or rack card that you want to put up at DCH, simply give it to the Box Office Intern and David will find a home for it soon thereafter. We also encourage you to share your beautiful posters and rack cards with the world! Put them up at your favorite coffee shops and bars! We want people who aren't already here for shows to see the work you've put in and come check you out. As a reminder, we do ask that all posters and rack cards include the following on the bottom:
