Storytelling is everywhere – it’s something we all have in common. We tell stories to educate, entertain or to connect with others; some stories we create on the fly and others are handed down from generation to generation. There are countless moments in our lives that make us laugh or cry and a few of those moments become the stories we love to share with people. I just love a good story – which is why I’m really excited about the upcoming event on Monday at the Nouveau Theater in Fair Park.

I gave up on sitcoms (which I define as 30 minutes, a laugh track, and a living room set) close to a decade ago, but that was before I knew they could be improvised. “Buddies!” is a parody of a mid-1990s sitcom which is made up on the spot every Friday night at the Dallas Comedy House.

For the staff of Dallas Summer Musicals, this has been a great season. Between new shows making their Texas debut in Dallas, to old favorites making their final appearance, this season has been nothing short of spectacular. As a first time critic of this esteemed organization, I had no idea what to expect, and I can honestly say I was not at all disappointed. At the close of this season, I tip my hat (though I never really wear one) to the entire staff and wait eagerly for next season’s awesomeness to be released on the world.

          Are you fed up with same, boring, Dallas scene? Are you ready to broaden your entertainment IQ? If you answered yes, then you’re in luck!! Charlie Tips and Femme Vivre present THE TUESDAY NIGHT TEASE…an evening of BURLESQUE, COMEDY, and VAUDEVILLE at the one and only, DYER STREET BAR (5529 […]

What happens when you put a room full of people- all of varied ages, experiences, and cultural backgrounds- with a trio of hairless, painted men with no ears?  Awesomeness.  That is what I experienced this past Wednesday as the Blue Man Group took to the stage at the Winspear Opera House and converted one of […]

Now, if you have read the theater section for any length of time, you probably know that, even when I am bestowing praise on a recent work, I try not to be overwhelming with how much I lavish it on the actors, cast, and crew. This will not be one of those times…dreamgirls was nothing short of amazing. From the opening number of “I’m Lookin’ for Something,” the cast of this long-running stage play had the audience captivated. Their energy, their ability to connect with each other and the audience, and their sheer talent were enough to make the hours of the show pass by in mere minutes.

Brighton Beach Memoirs at the Contemporary Theatre of Dallas is a celebration of family, tradition and really awesome Brooklyn accents.

Yes, Wicked fever had certainly been caught all across the city. One might think that maybe the hype was a little overplayed, that perhaps the stories people from all across the country had shared about their experiences with this (as some have said) “life-changing” show might be more hyperbolic than truth. If you thought that however…you’d be wrong.

Walking into 909 1st Ave. on Tuesday, you’d think for a moment that Dallas’ early days had suddenly made a pronounced resurgence.  Peeking out from amongst the concrete and glass, chuckwagons and cowboys emerged, entertaining Dallasites who were obviously enthralled by a life they knew little of, save what they had seen on television.  As […]
