One Thirty Productions
One Thirty Productions, in cooperation with the Bath House Cultural Center and the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture, is Dallas’ one and only matinee theater series. You can see a matinee, make your reservation for a light lunch, stroll through the art gallery at the Bath House and be on your way home before you get caught in the evening traffic. Specializing in light comedies, One Thirty Productions produces plays that are “old fashioned” in the sense that they tell a good story, are filled with unforgettable characters, and don’t offend with questionable language and situations.
