Did you know that the iconic "Blueprints" was designed based on the blueprints of Addison? Unveiled on April 13, 2000, this 35-foot-high landmark blends art and engineering, symbolizing Addison's transformation into a vibrant urban hub. To create the ultimate design for the "Blueprints at Addison Circle," the designers, Michael Van Valkenburgh and Mel Chin, took actual blueprints from Addison's municipal buildings, parks, bridges, and water pumping facilities to create a piece of public art that truly mirrors its community.

Find it in the heart of the Addison Circle District, near Addison Circle Park. Stop by, snap a pic, and share with us by tagging Visit Addison! Learn more about the history of blueprints at www.parks.addisontx.gov/Parks-Trails-Art/Public-Art-In-Addison/History-of-Blueprints

With collapsing sets, clumsy actors, and non-stop laughs, it’s been called “a riotous explosion of comedy” by The Daily Beast and “tons of fun for all ages” by HuffPost.

Catch the chaos at The Addison Performing Arts Centre starting December 31 through January 19. Don’t wait—grab your tickets now at https://watertowertheatre.org/event/play-that/2024-12-31
