erhaps, at first glance, Mistakes Were Made, will not
seem terribly complex. At face value, it’s the simple
story of Felix Artifex, a frustrated but determined
off-Broadway producer trying doggedly to put together
his first big-time Broadway production. With the help of his
kind secretary, and his soulmate pet, Felix engages in a series
of telephone conversations in which he does everything he
can to put the pieces of this project together and turn it
from a dream into a reality.
But playwright Craig Wright has written not just a comedy,
but also a morality play; the deceptively simple parts add up
to much more than the entertaining story of a producer’s
desperate frustrations. Listen carefully to Felix’s wheedling,
cajoling, coaxing and finagling, and you’ll hear a discussion
about what we value in life, of our desire to feel successful,
and the messy compromises to which we’ll agree in order to
achieve those goals we’ve established. Mistakes Were Made
is about the theatre, yes, and it’s cleverly self-referential. But
it’s also about responsibility, ambition, and hope. Buckle up.

Sixty years ago,
a small Texas university made
a great leap.
In 1949, TCU became the first college in
the nation to offer a BFA major in Ballet. Since
then, our School for Classical & Contemporary
Dance has soared to great heights.
TCU is committed to the future of fine arts
professionals, offering programs in music,
dance, theatre and visual art. Nurturing student
artists is one more way in which TCU stays
ahead of the curve. For a Fine Arts Calendar
