35 Denton has announced a new slate of acts. Find out why the announcement has one local blogger looking a little silly.

“I think there should be a reworking of the value structure of art. The value is when the artist makes a first engagement with society. That work has the most value.”

We have tickets and popcorn to give away to Clint Eastwood’s Western epic at The Magnolia tonight.

Home by Hovercraft’s long and peculiar genesis is reminiscent of what famously buoyant PBS artist Bob Ross would call “a happy accident.”

Whether you know the film by heart, or are looking to rediscover a classic, Water Tower’s It’s A Wonderful Life offers something for everyone.

Just in time for the 50th anniversary of the day Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President John F. Kennedy and killed a Dallas police officer, Elaine Liner offers us this fantastic story about an original play written and produced by the Dallas Theater Center called Jack Ruby, All-American Boy.

Ruby, if you’ll recall, was the local nightclub owner who killed Oswald before he could be tried for his crimes. The play was a phenomenal hit, but it’s never been seen or heard of since its sold-out first run in 1974. Liner, who saw the production, asks why.

This is fascinating stuff, rich with Dallas history and Dallas theater history. Recommended.
