Jennifer Higdon

The Winspear Opera House

What’s it like to be a Pulitzer Prize-winning composer whose works have been performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra, Tokyo String Quartet and The President’s Marine Band? You’d have to ask Jennifer Higdon about that, and you may just get your chance at Composing Conversations. As one of only a handful of women who have achieved such success in the field, Higdon offers a... Read more about this event >>
Dallas Comedy House Open Mic

Dallas Comedy House

Has life turned out the way you planned? Do you see the absurdity of the daily hubbub but stay silent and limp, like a human slug just waiting to be salted? Maybe you should channel all of those observations into stand-up comedy. More than just a coping mechanism like booze and pills, stand-up comedy builds confidence and teaches you how to get to the point of a story. It also teaches you... Read more about this event >>
Meerkats 3D

Perot Museum of Nature and Science

Impossibly adorable and standing only 12 inches tall, the meerkat clan in the new National Geographic release Meerkats 3D is freakishly relatable. That’s likely due more to the film’s design then its subjects — the animals’ existence is narrated with highly emotive plot and each tiny desert dweller is granted a quirky human title. Still, when one meerkat embraces... Read more about this event >>

Fab-TAP-ulous Fun Day

Music Hall at Fair Park

After years of hiding your tap shoes, it’s time to pull them out and hoof it down to Fair Park, where you can join the Fab-TAP-ulous fun with tons of fellow dance lovers thanks to the Dallas Dance Council of North Texas and Dallas Summer Musicals. This sweet duo is honoring the art form made famous by Bill “Bojangles” Robinson as part of the National Tap Dance Celebration.... Read more about this event >>
Nappy Roots, Effinays

The Prophet Bar Big Room

Nappy Roots have released five albums since 2002’s wonderfully whistle-worthy Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz. Maybe it was because in the early 2000s, you didn’t have to be that great to be on the radio, but Nappy Roots were always worth waiting for on the afternoon rotation. Large hip-hop groups with unique individual members were also popular at the time. The shitkickers in Nappy... Read more about this event >>
A.D.D.

White Space Gallery

Is there a more fitting acronym for an art show featuring Austin, Dallas and Denton artists than A.D.D.? Your attention will be drawn to a series of works by 18 emerging and established artists at newish collaborative venue White Space (2001 N. Lamar St., Suite 500), including Bereniche Aguiar, Michael Broussard, Luis Fernando Camacho, Alfredo Cuy, Chad Evans, Kelsey Anne Heimerman, John... Read more about this event >>
Wildest Weather in the Solar System

Perot Museum of Nature and Science

Man, you think Texas weather is a bear? Try vacationing on Titan. They've got liquid methane rainstorms which National Geographic assures us are just as bad as they sound. In the new IMAX film, Wildest Weather in the Solar System, you'll soar through a 400 year old hurricane in 3D and pop into see the sun's famous magnetic storms. Think of it as part visual ride, part educational program,... Read more about this event >>

The Black Angels

Granada Theater

May 25 is a big day. Psych-rock deities The Black Angels are headed into town the same day as country sweetheart Taylor Swift plays Dallas Cowboys stadium. Avoid the traffic cluster fuck that will inevitably be Arlington and head to Granada Theater to hear the quartet's brand new (and rather sexy) rock 'n' roll. After the band's psychedelic April 2 LP Indigo Meadow drops, they're hitting the... Read more about this event >>
