URBAN SCUBA COPPELL ARTS CENTER
“The city of Coppell and surrounding communities should swell with pride at this magnificent venue. Cities the size of most North Texas towns don’t get to offer such a dazzling $22 million theater complex to the community. We’ve performed my play — AMON! The Ultimate Texan — about Amon “Mr. Fort Worth” Carter in six cities, seven theaters for, as of today, 36 performances. By far, the Coppell Arts Center is the grandest, closestto-perfect of all the theaters we’ve visited. We were honored to be chosen as the first play to be performed in the new 440-seat theater in July 2021. The theater is terrific, and the entire staff offers 5-star customer service. I hope we can come back because the Coppell Arts Center has spoiled us. You did a great job building this.”
