Addison's WaterTower Theatre: 2009 Season

The 2009 season of Addison's WaterTower Theatre kicks off on October 1st with Grey Gardens the Musical. Book by Doug Wright, music by Scott Frankel; lyrics by Michael Korie.

Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter "Little Edie" - the eccentric relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis live behind the closed doors of a dilapidated mansion, alongside fifty cats and piles of rubbish.

Two shockingly different worlds are depicted inside the mansion walls: the resplendent Grey Gardens of 1941 and the Grey Gardens of 1973 - a crumbling shadow of its former self.

Based upon the groundbreaking documentary film by David and Albert Maysles, Grey Gardens is the hilarious and heartbreaking story of two women whose combative and codependent relationship is the one pillar in a constantly eroding house.

WaterTower Theatre is located at 15650 Addison Road, Addison TX 75001. Phone the box office for tickets at 972-450-6232, or purchase tickets online at www.watertowertheatre.org. Grey Gardens the Musical runs October 1st through October 25th.

Posted Addison Foreclosures for October, 2009

Addison, Texas has not been as hard hit with foreclosures as other parts of the country, but foreclosures do exist here. The foreclosure auction is held at the county courthouse on the first Tuesday of each month. Properties on the following streets are posted for the October 6, 2009 auction and include 2 townhomes, 1 condo, 2 single family homes, and 2 office buildings.

If you think you might be interested in purchasing a property at the foreclosure auction, I suggest that you attend the auction for a few months, learn the procedure, and do your research about any property you might want to bid on. In Dallas County, the auctions are in the basement of the courthouse and trustees representing multiple banks sell at the same time. It's quite an interesting process. Only about 5% of the posted properties sell. The rest are taken back by the banks and may eventually be listed through real estate agents. It is usually the properties with lots of equity that sell.
