FrontRow Live already has dance music, classical music, acoustic music, dancers, art, movies, coffee, drinks, and food. Now you can add theater to the list. Upstart Productions will be staging a spontaneous theater piece at FrontRow Live on November 3 at the Dallas Contemporary.

To that end we have three DJs (Play-n-Skillz, DJ Prince William, and DJ Sober), live video projections (Lars Larsen) a dance troupe (Rhythm Knightz), movies (our short film screening room), art ..read more
