mission statement
Second Thought Theatre seeks to capture the moment of creation between artist and audience. Dedicated to ensemble productions that explore challenging and dramatic works from the canon of theatrical literature, we strive to enlighten and entertain our audience by pushing the boundaries of human thought and emotion. Old works done in new ways, new works done in old ways. Everything is possible when you take a second thought.

Drew Wall, Best Young Actor - Dallas Voice: 'Exit Stage Right' (Top 10 of 2008) | Full List
"7. There's a good reason Edmond (Second Thought Theatre) is performed without an intermission: David Mamet's play is so abusive, so discomfiting to watch, it has to be experienced once, quickly - like ripping off a Band-Aid. This production, fluidly directed by Rene Moreno and brilliantly acted (especially by Regan Adair in the title role), zeroed in on the dark soul of a man unflinchingly." - The Dallas Morning News: TOP 10 OF 2008 | Full List
"10. Best Dallas Premiere of a Show That Fort Worth Saw Long Ago: Second Thought Theatre's Lobby Hero had strong performances in a tricky piece, but the same company's Collected Stories featured the city's best actresses of their generations, Pam Dougherty and Allison Tolman, in peak form." - Dallas-Fort Worth Theater Critics Forum's 2007-08 Awards | Full List
