| The Who's Tommy Kalita Humphreys Theater | Daily from Wed., August 27 until Sun., September 21 | Uptown & Oak Lawn | |
Ahh, the rock opera. It all started in 1966 when The Who released its second album, which contained the phenomenal nine-minute suite of songs "A Quick One While He's Away," the tale of Ivor the engine driver and his lustful ways. The Who followed this with a full-length opera, Tommy, in 1969.... More >> |

| Ellis, Luna and Ziegler Craighead-Green Gallery | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., September 6 until Sat., October 18 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
You want to get people interested in the artwork you create? Become a master of difficult mediums. Take painter Brad Ellis. The man works with encaustic for crying out loud. Yeah, that's pigmented hot wax, in laymen's terms...and it's freakin' hard to just slap some of it up on a canvas with... More >> |

| Making It New: The Art and Style of Sara and Gerald Murphy Dallas Museum of Art | Daily from Sun., June 1 until Sun., September 14 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
If you can say you inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau and Coco Chanel (among others), simply because of the way you lived your life, then you deserve a touring museum exhibition dedicated to your legacy. If you can say, in even uncertain terms, that you are a fan of the... More >> |

| The Blues/Jazz Experience: Paintings by Earnest "Ernie" Benton and Daggi Wallace Irving Arts Center | Daily from Mon., July 28 until Sun., September 21 | Irving & Las Colinas | |
Painting portraits of your favorite musicians is a time-honored way of paying homage to the artists you love. But more often than not, it's not that compelling as art. Sure, the original photograph of Johnny Cash flipping the bird is a powerful image, but how many times do we really need to see... More >> |

| Remnants The Magnolia Theatre | Daily from Thu., August 7 until Wed., September 10 | East Dallas & Lakewood | |
Photographer Kent Barker seems rather taken with the process of erosion--"There is a solitude and a quiet that for me is conducive to the act of 'seeing' and a unique visual beauty in the way that time and weather acts upon objects," he says. Barker finds such beauty in the small, dusty corners... More >> |

| Monday Nite Fights Caribbean Grill | Every week Monday, 10:00pm | Carrollton/Farmers Branch |
|
You say, "Public speaking?" and we say, "No, thank you." The idea is nauseating. But man, if we could only rap. Then we could turn to our alter ego, MC Pants, and get all 8 Mile up in that piece for our certainly supportive audience. Right. Problem is we can't freestyle. So, for the Monday Nite... More >> |

| Peter Pan Artisan Center Theater |
Sat., September 13, 3:00pm more dates/times |
Mid-Cities (H-E-B) | |
What is it with Peter Pan always being played by a girl? Mary Martin, Sandy Duncan, then Cathy Rigby--all flying around the theater on wires like a heavenly marionette act. No wonder Peter doesn't want to grow up--he'd have to lose the tights and makeup and get a career job in a monkey suit.... More >> |

| Art Faculty Biennial Richland College | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Wed., September 3 until Fri., October 10 | Garland & Vicinity | |
I've taken art classes at more than four institutions of higher learning. They were all good, but the one that was great was Richland College. An underdog because of its "community college" status, Richland doesn't seem like the pick for fantastic labs, galleries and art profs, but it is. And... More >> |

| Identity Theory William Campbell Contemporary Art | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., September 6 until Sat., October 11 | Fort Worth | |
It's very important that we shred our documents. Credit card statements, bills and even personal correspondence is indelibly stamped with part of who we are, whether it's an identifying account number or a grocery list. But for artist Robert McAn, a document's value doesn't end when it's no... More >> |
