| Bluegrass Heritage Festival South Oaks Baptist Church | Sat., September 6, 12:00pm | Arlington | |
I fell under the spell of bluegrass music long before the Coen brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou? I was 9 and riding with my grandpa through the pinewood forests surrounding Hot Springs, Arkansas. Grandpa was running errands. I was tagging along. He slid a cassette into the tape player, and... More >> |

| Squeeze, Fastball House of Blues | Sat., September 6 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
I know what you hear in your head when someone mentions the band Squeeze. You probably picture that awkward and embarrassing scene in Reality Bites where those wacky slackers sing along to "Tempted" on the radio. As if that song wasn't overplayed to death a million times already. The sad thing... More >> |

| Warbirds On Parade Lancaster Airport | Sat., September 6, 10:00am-4:00pm | Lancaster/Wilmer/Hutchins | |
How to tell if you're a dude (in case there's any doubt): You consider bacon appropriate as an appetizer, entree and dessert dish; you bought a DVD burner just so you could save all the episodes of Shockwave on The History Channel; and, finally, going to see "Warbirds on Parade," a display of...

| Jack and the Beanstalk Slappy's Puppet Playhouse |
Every week Sunday from Sun., September 7 until Sun., November 23, 2:00pm more dates/times |
North Dallas | |
Momma always told me not to take candy from strangers, but she never said anything about beans. I don't recall Jack's momma, of Jack and the Beanstalk, telling him not to take beans either. Why'd she get so pissed? Plus, he's not going to eat them; he's going to stick them in the dirt and wait... More >> |

| Cycles The Meridian Room | Daily from Mon., August 11 until Fri., October 10 | Fair Park | |
When it comes to glorifying man-made means of transportation and feats of technology, the entire country of the United States of America serves as a pretty powerful altar to all that is great and good about human ingenuity. We celebrate our vast intellectual superiority by driving gas-guzzling... More >> |

| Beauty and the Beach Artisan Center Theater |
Every week Tuesday from Tue., August 19 until Sat., September 13, 4:30pm more dates/times |
Mid-Cities (H-E-B) | |
Ah, summer. As hot and miserable as it can be, it always has its upsides. OK, there's really only one upside: the beach. The sand between your toes, the gentle crash of the waves, old hairy guys wearing Speedos...heck, even fairy tale characters need a beach trip now and again, at least... 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 >> |

| Joseph Havel: Two Sheets (to the wind) Dallas Center for Contemporary Art | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., September 4 until Wed., December 24, 10:00am-5:00pm | East Dallas & Lakewood | |
As any fan of Project Runway knows, much has been said over the blending of fabric and art in the name of fashion. But what about blending fabric and art in the name of art? Artist Joseph Havel does just that in his exhibition of sculptural constructions based on the drapery and other technical... 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 >> |

| Defiance Theatre Three |
Every week Thursday from Thu., September 4 until Sun., October 5, 7:30pm more dates/times |
Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
We like to see people get busted for doing bad things...especially if they fall into that vein of overbearing and morally compromised characters that house the Colonel Jessups (A Few Good Men) and Alonzos (Training Day) of the fictional world. It's a desire to see someone who lords over people... 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 >> |

| Flight of the Red Balloon The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth | Daily from Fri., September 5 until Sun., September 7 | Fort Worth | |
A young boy. A red balloon. Paris. These simple elements taken from Albert Lamorisse's 1956 Academy Award-winning short film The Red Balloon are woven into a beautiful, modern-day story about art, childhood and family in Hou Hsiao-hsien's Flight of the Red Balloon. When life begins to overwhelm... 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 >> |

| Laray Polk, Simeen Ishaque and Sasha Dela McKinney Avenue Contemporary | Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., September 6 until Fri., October 10, 11:00am-9:00pm | Uptown & Oak Lawn | |
Truly great art should speak to the soul in a profound way; it should stir within the human heart deep feelings and strong convictions. One should be unable to turn away from great art, mesmerized by the sheer power of its content and execution, which should come together in perfect... More >> |

| Peter Pan Artisan Center Theater |
Sat., September 6, 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 >> |

| 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 >> |

| 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 >> |
