Dallas Theater Center Adds Two Actors To Brierley Resident Company

Peter Simek

The Dallas Theater Center has added two new actors to the Brierley Resident Acting Company, both with strong ties to Southern Methodist University.
 
Tiffany Hobbs just finished her MFA at SMU, and she also appeared in the DTC’s Cabaret and A Christmas Carol. She’s taking a post with the company that another SMU grad, Abbey Siegworth, is vacating. The other new member, Kieran (Michael) Connolly, is the former head of the acting program at SMU, where he taught Hobbs and Siegworth. He has appeared in the DTC’s Next Fall and Dividing the Estate.
 
Siegworth is one of three actors leaving the company as their 2-year residency contracts expire. Cedric Neal will remain in New York where he is working on the Broadway show Porgy and Bess. Matthew Gray will leave the DTC to join a global marketing and communications firm. The DTC says it is currently conducting a nationwide search to fill the open spot in the ten member company.
