We’re getting to expect it every other year, like Congressional elections: In 2009, members of the group DFW Actors Give Back joined together for a charity CD of Christmas music called Holidazzle. In 2011, the were back with Holidazzle II. Well, a glance at the calendar tells you its time for the third disc, called Holidazzle: Encore! Once again, actors, singers and musicians from around the Metroplex are joining forces to donate their time and talent for another collection of carols and hymns. And once again, a children’s charity — this time the Children’s Cancer Fund — will be the recipient of their largesse.
According to Bob Hess, president of DFW Actors Give Back, sales from Holidazzle II led to $15,000 in donations in 2011; they hope to meet or exceed that this time.
No word yet on what songs or performers will be featured, but the talent in North Texas has always turned out for some great numbers.
The CD will be available, as before, in participating theater lobbies during November and December, but also via download.
