Kitchen Dog Theater

<h4>KDT is a Dallas theater company that performs avant-garde contemporary works along with unconventional takes on the classical canon. Beginning in 2008 a 2-color tabloid-sized newsprint mailer was designed to replace their previous 4x9 rack brochure. The new format allows KDT to promote their season with much greater impact on the same small budget, and the grittiness of the medium matches the theater's rebellious aesthetic nicely.</h4>
