Teatro delle Muse, the resident company of the Art Centre Theatre located in historic downtown Plano held their First Annual Awards Ceremony last week. “The 2007-2008 season was a huge success for us,” says Sarah VC Henderson, Artistic Director. The theatre was honored in so many ways this season we just felt it was fitting to take the time to honor our own and all those who made this smashing first season.”
